Hi everyone! Thanks for joining us for the Weekly Chat with eBay Staff. We don't have a specific topic this week, so feel free to share any general buying or selling questions you may have.
The chat thread will remain open until 2 PM PT at which point we'll close it from additional responses. After that time, we'll continue to work on responding to any queries that might still be unanswered.
To post your question, click Reply in the lower right corner of this post, type your question, and hit submit between 1-2 PM Pacific Time. The format of our chat mirrors the format of our Community Discussion Boards, where each post will appear in the thread chronologically. The Community Team will review each question as it comes in, and will quote the original question in our reply. This quote and the reply will appear later in the thread, so just keep scrolling down to see our answers.

It was just a mistake on my part, I thought I was responding to something I wasn't. All my fault, I wasn't paying enough attention to what I was doing.
Thanks for joining this week’s chat. It’s closed from further replies, but we’ll continue working through any that have not received a response to make sure that everyone’s questions are answered. Thanks!

On a laptop using chrome and as I mentioned previously the is a difference between the drop down list results from the "search for anything" bar and "advanced search". My understanding is the drop down list in advanced search ii retained by the chrome browser and the search results on the search for anything bar are what ebay thinks I should be interested in. I'm not! I've complained about this multiple times to customer service and they agree with my description of what I'm experiencing . They send complaints to tech and management but nothing changes. I was told this resulted from an ebay update back in May. MAKE IT STOP!
Hey @tincan630! I know you came in about this last week, but I didn't have a reply from you before the chat closed. I've tried to recreate what you're describing and when I go to the main search bar and click into it, nothing happens. Once I start typing something, I get a mix of past searches and eBay suggestions for things that I may not have searched for previously. When I do an advanced search though and click in the bar, before I start typing, it shows my past search results. Once I start typing however, that's it, and I complete what I was searching for with no suggestions being provided.
I know this chat is now over, but if you start a new post and tag me, please be sure to let us know what the specific problem is that you're running into. Is it with the main search or the advanced search? Are you experiencing what I described above or something else. I want to know if this is a you specific issue, or a change we made that everyone is experiencing and you would like things reverted.
