The MAIN problem with eBay Search

Members who don't know how to use it.

 

There's nothing wrong with Cassini, it's how members choose their words. . .

 

Here's an example I heard today.

 

I can't find many Sunjoe mowers on eBay.

 

Well, if the person searching had searched for:   Sun Joe Mower instead of SunJoe Mower

 

maybe they would've found what they were looking for!

I just searched Cats Meow Village and got over 6,000 results and there is a flywheel in the middle of them.  The title does not contain the word Cat or Meow or Village.

 

So I go to sold - highest first and there is a cognac bottle and another flywheel.  Again, no cat or meow or village as any of the title words, in any rearranged form.

 

z, obviously the drugs ebay supplies you with are better than what we get.  Or search s*cks bad and you can't see it.


I just searched Cats Meow Village and the first page of 200 we all Cats Meow Village in the title.

Search is horrible today! typed in PLYMOUTH ROCK STAMP BOOK THE OUTLET COMPANY-- returned a page full of automobile waterpumps!! searched SOLDS, got water pumps! Tried searching just collectibles and SAME RESULT-WATER PUMPS! I found not a single like item I was searching for out of 10 things I purchased for resale today while researching solds! Nothing even close to what I was typing in! I shut the computer off in disgust! It is no wonder sales are in the dumper more so than ever the last 3 monthes.

OUTLET BOOK COMPANY STAFF - The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock (Salamander) -

That's strange because z50, the Stepford of search results said it was there because it was in the wrong category.  So I guess that search didn't work for you after all.
