eBay

All I did was search for "dill pickle mix"!

If you can't read the graphic, it says:

The request contains expensive keywords, which return a large number of items. Expensive keywords must be joined with additional keywords. For example, new is not allowed, but new book is allowed. You can also reduce the results by entering a keyword followed by the terms you'd like to remove. Example: shoes -nike

I did the search again, and things were fine. Expensive keywords???

Expensive keywords are the ones that cause millions, or even billions, of electrons to work more than a nanomicrosecond vs a micronanosecond overtime during the search and recover phase of expressing an expanded view of the idea of an individual search procedure.

In fact, it has been said that their union - the Amalgomated Association of Commited Search Electorns (AACSE) - has petitioned that a warning label be provided as an Industry Standard against abuse of the scheduling usage of overtime/undercompensated electrons. I think it is suppose to be in the Late Summer Seller Update.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous

Remember where it was programmed and expensive or expansive they obviously don't know the difference except that the search can't deal with it, like most other things on Ebay.

Then another poster on another thread goes on to say I am traitor because I have given up on trying to find what I want on Ebay. If they would quit trying to teach the machine AI (you really do need to understand what you are teaching something or it really doens't matter, and English is obviously a problem for those doing the teaching as we continue to see). These are the type of issues that have made it so I take most of my online spending elsewhere as i do not want to waste my time trying to get Ebay to show me what I want, not what they want me to see.

Ebay seems to really be trying for the millenneals, but they are much less patient than I am, so now Ebay you have another reason for your lack of growth. When you cannot even interest your target market to look because they want it yesterday and this is they type of results they get from a simple search, what makes you think they are going to do all these click downs to find what they want?

You had a much better chance of them looking for things before you messed with the search because if they didn't find what they wanted at first one more keyword would usually do it. Now they have to do more and more drilldowns when it is so quick and simple to do a search on Google and wallah !! I have twin millenneals and neither of them even consider Ebay anymore and neither have bothered to open an Ebay account after see what they got when i did a search for them on my account. Both of them spend a ton online but you can guess who they do not spend it with and why. But if not see the OPs error message.
