sorting items

[schurl_0]

The last couple weeks i have been looking at items while sorting them "ending soonest with bids".  Now that option is gone.  How do i get it back? Thanks

Sorting by bids is only an option if you limit your search results to Auctions only.

Yes, i am under auction items.  i am not talking about # of bids option.  This option was "Ending soonest + with bids"

Are you referring to searching your own listings using Seller Hub?

You may have to choose only auctions with bids, and then sort by Ending Soonest.

No, buying items i want.  I don't want to see items with no bids.  If the item is ending soon without a bid that is usually because the starting price is too high.  Like i said this was an option for past few weeks and now its gone.

If you go from your search results to the Advanced Search page, you can limit your results to auctions that have at least one bid, then sort by ending soonest.

For example:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=test&_sacat=0&LH_Auction=1&LH_NOB=1&_sabdlo=1&_sop=1

The filter shown above the search results says "Number of bids is greater than 1", but the results shown correspond to "at least one bid".

Thank you very much.  Still strange that it disappeared from the sort options tab.  But this helps alot.

You are most welcome.

It might be worth reporting the omission to eBay directly using the "Tell us what you think" link on the search results page or the "Feedback" / "Comment" / "?" link in the lower right corner of most eBay pages. If the removal was an oversight or the unintended side effect of some other planned change, such reports might be the key to getting the feature back.
