Search Function Not Working

kake100 — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 10:43:51 GMT

Is anyone else finding that if you try to search for anything this morning you get a horizontal band of your recent searches and a view of how many pages of items are in your search but no actual items?

Logging in and out makes no difference, nor does clearing cache!

Is this another technical glitch?

I have just seen that other members have pointed this out in the Member to Member Support Section so it is obviously happening to others - which is a relief but obviously still frustrating!

Yes it's happening to me too. Very annoying. Hopefully eBay will realise soon and fix it or is that too much to ask/expect?

Yes happening to me as well. The search shows some results then they disappear straight away.

Maybe its another update that we dont need....

It's happening to me as well. I've tried several different browsers, I hope it's fixed soon.

I have contacted eBay via Chat and they didn't seem to be aware of the issue. Hopefully they are now. I wonder how widespread it is? Being unable to see any listings is not going to help their sales....

Yep , me too........ searching just brings up the dreaded 'pick up where you left off'. (no thanks, I 'left off' because I didn't want it... and I still don't)

Today is Friday though , which is glitch day on ebay anyway....🙄

If it's any help to anyone, the listings are still showing when I use DuckDuckGo. They are still not showing in Microsoft, Firefox or Chrome.

The search function itself is just terrible now - it can't find anything, hiding items and deciding what I want to see, not showing what I ask to see. Are they using Ai now? It's absolutely useless

jeansal53 — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 18:07:24 GMT

I'm having the same problem. Browser, mobile app, 3 different devices. The best i could get was on the mobile app where it says "no search results found" but right below it says "10 results" and doesn't show anything else

Ah, thought it was my phone. I can access everything else but search results blank. Will try later

You can’t search for anything. Bring up page after page of search suggestion and keeps going without showing anything

starfallstudio — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 18:30:34 GMT

This is exactly what I’ve got as well. Very frustrating.
