eBay

Searching for womens shorts, type that into search bar and then go to refine my search on the left side with size, style, etc.

Usually it says Bottom Size and gives sizes. Not today! Instead it says bottom sizes then you get 4 options: Regular, Petite, Plus and Junior. I checked regular and thought the regular sizes would show up so I could pick one, hmmmm no they did not.

I finally figured out I had to check regular, then go back and check see all to be able to pick a size.

Geez, why make it hard to search on ebay than it already is. This is a very dumb idea!

LOL...new product search (project)...today I looked for kitchen item in bulk that I buy regularly...it took 17 clicks to find the one I wanted...the old way only took 4 clicks..including the pay now button.....Not user friendly at all.

What search terms did you use, and did you click "group similar listings"?

I just searched for "wooden spoons", got 6,112 results, and ignored the option to "group similar listings".

No, I am not grouping similar listings. I type in womens shorts in the search bar then clicked womens shorts on the left side. On the left went to click size and it gives me what I stated above with no actual size. It is really messed up.

Put in search womens shorts and see what I mean. I wish I knew how to put a screen shot in this forum but can't figure it out.

That is their new "buyer experience". They say it is personalized, and more intuitive. They're experts, so they must be right, maybe there is just something wrong with you...

No doubt there is something wrong with me but that is not the point LOL!

Well, if this is the new buyer experience I see very few sales in clothing in the future!

I don't find a "womens shorts" on the left side.

My search for "womens shorts" returns 590,000 listings, but no one searches so broadly unless you want to wade through thousands of unrelated pages......... https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=womens+s...

Yes it does. It shows shorts that are listed under womens clothing...that is womens shorts, now go down and look at the sizes...that is how you are suppose to weed out all the ones you don't want...It isn't working!

You use to be able to click a size 14 for example and it would eliminate all chinese sellers because they don't make clothes that big. Takes it way down, but very hard to find now how to do that.
