you know ... 3 months this has been going on 

it is like eBay just gave up 

but at least it's not just targeting sellers since this affects buyers as well

so funny
when adding tags I got this error message:

The message tags contain no, which is not permitted in this community. Please remove this content before sending

@bdbq_reborn

I am seeing 501 items right now.

[bdbq_reborn]

and there are actually that many available to look at?

because when I go to the bottom there are no additional pages 

here is a screenshot of the bottom of the same page

@bdbq_reborn

Some of the listings are variation listings like the rhinestones that come in different sizes and colors. Each combination counts as a separate result in the search.

This search turns up one listing, but it counts as 24 results since there are 24 combinations of sizes and colors:

not true 

but I have seen that ridiculous answer more than once regarding this issue and have always wondered if you think it's actually plausible or you just like to be purposefully illogical thinking some one would buy that answer.

if they say 501 items that is what we should see 

look at this seller 

https://www.ebay.com/sch/amazinglotust/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

all of his items are listed and 50% are repititous

btw i had no specific search criteria 

i picked 'al items ' and that is what I expect to see 

i bet if that were YOUR listings you would be pretty unhappy

[bdbq_reborn]

just talked to eBay support 

they went to the page 

said some thing is definitely wrong 

found other repetitions of the same error 

were quite concerned 

but

i am doubtful anything will come of it

 Sorry you don't like my answer. Or those other ones that you have seen more than once, but don't find plausible.

look at this seller 

https://www.ebay.com/sch/amazinglotust/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

I notice there are 468 results and less than 400 actual items listed. I did not check them all, but I would guess that some of the items are variations -- it's hard to say since unless there is a price range, it's not immediately apparent.

btw i had no specific search criteria 

i picked 'al items ' and that is what I expect to see 

Are there items of yours that have been listed more than 24 hours that do not appear in the results? Could you provide an item number or a link?

i bet if that were YOUR listings you would be pretty unhappy

Since I don't actually know what you are expecting to see, it's hard to know whether you should be happy or not, or whether I should be happy in your place.

there needs to be a 'USELESS'  icon under the 'HELPFUL' icon

[bdbq_reborn]

please explain why this sellers page works

https://www.ebay.com/sch/5-11975/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

while the other doesn't 

[berserkerplanet]

A ton of that seller's listings are multiple quantity and/or multi-variation.

The "504 results" the search page indicates is the TOTAL number of items offered in the listings shown in the search results, and NOT the number of listings that match the search.

You do the math. Go into each of those 42 search results and add up the number of items (have to guess at a lot because not all are avail qty numbers are shown), but at 10 items offered per listing that would be 420.

I missed reading the rest of eburtonlab's measured explanatations to you, and your loathsome responses.

You are on you own from now on. *plonk*
