"You are currently testing eBay's new search experience. If you prefer, you can opt out of the test."

Put a search term in the box.......one that you know will bring up a lot of results.
Next page where you can specify which category you want to narrow your search in, the option is at the bottom.
All back to normal now!


Spread the word- if everyone opts out, hopefully they will get the hint and sack the new look off for good!

Its total sh1te, you just can't refine searches how you want to as easily.

I don't understand what eBay are playing at - the system worked fine, and yet they've messed about with the menu's and made stupid changes to the feedback system which works in the favour of fraudster sellers. Not to mention the recent increase in fees. Add them to the Paypal fees, and sometimes its just not worth the hassle.

I'm rarely using ebay these days.

Seems a lot slower in the new look, scrolling up or down is slow and jittery.

Opted out now.......much better.

Surely you mean fraudster buyers? Like the fooking bint who just bought something off me and has unfairly left negative feedback! Now i have 2 otions, leave her positive feedback or leave her feedback later. WTF? How am I supposed tell my side of the story to anyone who views my feedback profile?
