Quote:eBay shoppers are complaining that the "favorite searches" feature is broken. On the eBay discussion forum devoted to search issues, a buyer posted, "I have a list of Favorite Searches stored on My eBay. I use them once a week to check for stuff. I always get many hundreds of results. Today they all give me 0 results. Did eBay change something? Or, is something broken?"...

Another longtime eBay user who has hundreds of saved Favorite Searches that he has been running for years said some of them are no longer working. In a discussion board post, he explained how one of his saved searches filters out certain words to make the results more relevant.

Hard to believe something else doesn't work on eBay! : Smile

I've got about a dozen or so favorite searches that I'm subscribed to and I can attest that it's buggy... I don't know how many times I've come across a seller *by chance* who had stuff listed that I KNEW *should* be getting returns on my favorite searches, but they never came up.

Makes ya wonder if ebay occasionally "blackballs" sellers, hmmm?

Yea no doubt.

BTW I've determined they have me permanently on the dead server.

I'm beginning to think that, too!! My GAWD it's bad. And in my category, it's not because of the 20 cent listing day. There's almost a straight line across the graph...
