when a buyer finds something of interest they click on visit my store then of course there should be a search box for the buyer to find more of the same. WHERE IS MY SEARCH BOX?????
All that is available are the same filters ebay ie: best match lowest to highest etc. that does not enable a buyer to search for more of what he is interested in. What is going on?????

If you look at the very top of your store home page (to the right of the eBay logo) there is a search bar that says search this store
Good Luck Selling!

It's now a part of the regular search bar.

THANK YOU
didn't even look there since I'm not searching ebay, I'm searching MY store. Seems illogical not to have my store seach where my store heading is, it is after all MY store.
Then to put ebays own filter which includes nearest first, next to my store logo is ridiculous. I would think would be confusing to many buyers.
I sell and had to come here to find that you now have to go up and click on ebay search with their logo to find items in MY store, while ebays own filter search is now next to my store heading. Who is going to come to my store and look for nearest first?
Seems ebay is doing everything they can to make all listings ebay listings and take the seller out of the transaction completely. Has ebay even fixed the views yet, i find it hard to believe that in a month not one person looked at various listings i have.

It's in the Sort column, as it is in all ebay Sort columns.
Looks like ebay simplified/condensed to the standard search used site-wide. Ebay, never missing a trick, lets a buyer search "All Categories" in the Search bar; not just "This Store."
If I search OP's store by entering "art print" in the Search bar, I get 600+ items (the default is This Store). If I switch to All Categories, I get 5000+ items.
Maybe it was always like that; I usually shop in the prepared-by-store-owner's categories and never paid attention to to the extra, um, stuff ebay added to the storefront page.

It's another silly change by ebay that was not neccessary. It is causing buyer confusion and probably is one of the issues why sales are down.

your pic really doesnt capture the problem, search box should be under or next to the blue line of my store, instead ebay's filter box is there, not at the top of the page where it belongs with all the space between my store header and top of the page yeah i agree buyers can't find store search, I know i couldn't when i recently tried to search a store i ended up just using category in the store major pain

I think you did the same thing I did initially. I thought there was no search box.
The page looks somewhat different but there is a search box like you find on a general search so that may be throwing you off. I thought it was a general search but it is to search that store that you have clicked on and are now it.
