For the last few days, many of my saved searches that I have used for years have stopped working. They either cause my browser to crash or return 0 items. The ones that were set up for "any of these words" and changed over to "all of these words", and other errors. This morning I sent an email to eBay to ask about this. Anyone else having the same problem?

they are working fine for me. Did you try deleting your temp files? What operating system and browser/version are you using?

Thanks for your reply. I have Windows XP and Explorer 6.0. I have cleaned my cache and all that. But, if I'm the only one with search problems, it must have something to do with my computer.

Mine stopped working too. I have used both IE and Mozilla, and even Netscape -- all have been changed and now return no results, and do not exclude the words I indicate. Noticed it once or twice last week, but when I refreshed it seemed to go back to normal. Last night and today, it does not work and includes ALL the words I don't want.

eBay replied to my request for help by telling me to clean my cache and delete my eBay cookies. But, my searches are still not working. My excluded words have become included, and my selection of "any of these words" has turned into "all of these words", so I retrieve 0 items. At least I'm not alone, though - thanks for posting.

For those that have asked questions, and or responded to this thread please go to discussions on ebay under the search choice.
there you will read of the nightmare that is being set upon us by these goof balls that work there.
they have been doing a lot of experimenting on search and the results are a complete disaster.
I have had people call me up and ask why i stopped selling items that I list every week for years. I have not stopped listing them, but they are not visible because of this search mess.
These are items that I sell about 50 a week for yrs. the last three weeks I have sold only 3.(one to the person who called!)
The only thing saving my a$$ is that I buy the item as i need them.
take a few minutes and go have a read there, it is a real eye full of e-bay incompetence.

My favorite searches have also stopped being emailed to me, I have not received any emails for 3 days. I have about 50, so that hurts sellers - EBAY - FIX THE PROBLEMS!
