Did Ebay discontinue the ability to search through the adult categories? I went there and didn't see the search adult box.
If so, anybody have a link on Ebay where it explains that action? Thanks.

Lovepotions, could you please post a url for
a page in adult which allows you to search through an adult section? Ebay is always
tinkering with their site and for some reason I am unable to figure out how to do a search there. Thanks again.

Once you are in the mature section, you can only find the search box on the overall listing pages, not on the individual auction pages. So if you are looking at a particular auction, go to the top of that item's page and look for the category (in blue) that it is listed under. That will be at the top, just under the headline.
Than click on the category and bring up all the items in that category, and bingo, you have the search box on that page. Fill in your search title, and off you go. For a wider search, click title and decription box, but forget the AFA box, adult dealers can't list items in that program. Guess ebay is worried about our morals (but not their ethics), but that is another story.

Litlux, I understand your instructions, that is exactly how I used to get to the search box before. But for some reason, it does not work any more. I tried Netscape, IE, and neither. That is why I am asking for the URL you have at that particular page in which a search box appears following your directions as you stated. Hopefully, I will be able to duplicate that. Here is a URL of a page in which there is no search box, after following your directions:

I think there is something wrong with my browser. I just tried to do it in AOL, and the search box appears way to the right.
I think my browser in my non-aol is suddenly cutting off everything to the right, that is why it doesn't show up.
it's always something with these computers.
It is never easy.

I just tried to do a search to look for a certain type of item in the depression glass catagory. The search box was not there. So I got into the catagories I'm selling and the search box is gone there too. Somethin's screwy!

Ebay added a bunch of spam where the search box usually is, so now you have to scroll WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT to find the search box. If you don't do that it seems that the search box is no longer there. The same thing happened to me.
There is some way to adjust your monitor so that the whole web page fits by using small fonts or something.

I was wondering How's business in the Adult sections these days - We used to sell some Leather Lingerie Items there - Just curious.

A long stupid question for ebay? How will you make money if computer challenged buyers can not figure out how to find the search box in the category search so that they can search for something that they actually want to buy? If ebay had common sense they would make the box obvious so that they can make the bucks on final value fees.
This does not compute.

Sorry, I've been partying too hearty at the other place. Or is this the other place? I'm really confused.
