Ebay has done it again. They've changed the search results. I can't tell you how much I hate it.

Before - If I was looking for a ceiling fan, you could click on the category Ceiling Fans and search within those results. I could search "Damp" "Wet" "Outdoor" and search Title and Description.

NOW - You have to go to the sidebar and find where it says search Title and Description. Once you've found THAT little gem, you can search Ceiling fans ONLY by going through all the Home and Garden choices. When you FINALLY get to the Ceiling Fans - if you want to search by another choice, say Damp or Wet......YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE D*&$@Q%MN thing AGAIN. It won't let you stay in the category. You're right back at the Home and Garden heading.

And there's some wonking big ad that AdBlock Plus is blocking so I have this huge whitespace at the top of the page.

Geez.

oh. here it is. I'd "opted out" quite a while ago.

I notice the views on my auctions are a lot higher than usual.

mah645:
view counts through ebay counters?
if so, they are typically fudged quite a bit.
watch counts are inaccurate as well.
I've listed items that are held and not yet viewable (coach, nike, adidas, etc) and they supposedly have views and watchers before they are even shown as listed!!!
