Unannounced change in auction format?

[bubbleman2010]

Go to one of your favorite item categories click on auctions and in the sort box you'll notice no more sorting by number of bids thats a real bid killer feature there...

I see "most bids first".........have to admit don't do auctions........but is that what you mean?

Upper right corner of screen. Click advanced. Then click # of bids. It's always been there.

Hello I did search and saw search most and fewest bid options available.

Not understanding where the  deal breaker thing plays?

I could post a couple other dozen categories it no longer shows if you'd like to see more....

No, I can see what you are saying the page formats are different.

Just guessing here....

but could the structured/catalog requirements have anything to do with this??

Bubble, I think you are in "browse" view on list  search............ doesn't mitigate the lack of the sort choices, but could be they forgot them in developing the page.....

or perhaps they are adopting that page view for search

oops.......ran out of time.......... when I do a Straight Razor search, I get

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=diapers&LH_Auction=1&_armrs=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570...

which does show highest/lowest  # of bids as sort choices.........
