The new SAVED FEED that purports to offer ideas to would be purchasers is a complete and utter waste of time. Its AI choice or perhaps something else is actually totally and utterly uninformed, taking away the previous long established serendipitous searches from the last decade.
So well done Ebay for placing yet another hurdle to preventing eBayers from accessing that odd historical artifact that turns up from time to time.

Completely agree - it's a terrible change that ruins my finely crafted search filters.

Absolutely brilliant . What is more within five seconds another old item of interest is shown. Thanks very much. Happy Christmas.
EBay kindly take note don't wreck our existing search systems

You are most welcome -- Merry Christmas!

It is absolutley useless. All it does is show random items interspersed with a couple of things I am actually looking for. Then every 5 lines or so, it repeats itself. 95% of the things I am actually looking for arent shown. Well done ebay!

Todays highlight is one item repeated 22 times on the first page. Another item was only repeated 21 times, but twice appeared on 3 consecutive lines. The implementation of this is incredibly poor.
Please revert back to the old saved search feed which actually shoowed you items you were looking for.

That could be on the ' eBay Christmas Wish List', that eBay would come to these boards , and see what their members truly want, and for so many unnecessary changes, to revert back to their original format ! 🤗
Truly not too much to ask for ? 🤔

This no longer works now. Looks like ebay have totally messed it up for us.

Guess what ................................. your excellent link does not work anymore........................
27-12-2024 9:57 AM
Yes likewise https://www.ebay.co.uk/feed does not work this morning and the list of sellers and searches are useless too. Well 2026 will see a reduction in sales/purchases ------ SELL EBAY SHARES Stock price: EBAY (NASDAQ) SELL SELL SELL SELL

This link is now redirecting to the new disastrous feed page. So now I have to check all my saved searches individually every day.
27-12-2024 3:11 PM
It only works for a while and then the ridiculous new saved feed appears again showing either repeated items or ones that are not wanted!
27-12-2024 4:06 PM
Yes, it appears that eBay has changed things so that the old link now points to the new page.
Use the "Tell use what you think" link on the new Feed page to let eBay page developers think of the format and operation of the new page and the loss of the old page. If enough users complain, eBay may make the new page work more like the old page.

I have yet to find any instructions on how to use the new feed system. The help pages only tell me how to use the lovely, workable old sytem.
Where can I see my Saved Search feed items now that the feed link has been removed.
Ebay must no longer require income generated by the old Saved Searches feed.

Try using the eBay app to see your feed -- the format there is closer to the original feed page.
Another possible workaround option may be found on the US community in this post:

Gentlemen,
It would appear that a number of substantial eBay buyers on here are having similar problems and significant dissatisfaction. Basically the serendipity aspect of our long established searches in turning up that odd specialist item from a totally unknown buyer is simply not happening anymore. A functionality that HAD made Ebay more interesting than a google search has been lost. So I wonder if a 'Group Complaint' can be formulated and formally sent to eBay high level management?
It is not worth commenting on what has replaced the above, except to save that I find it insulting to my long term purchases that I have made over the years.
Your thoughts? I can't see much point leaving a message with a Bot or a junior member of Staff.
28-12-2024 4:31 AM
Like everyone else, I hate this. The fact that we could work around it proves that the old functionality still existed and can run around the disastrous new page, they're just withholding it from users. Even if the new one worked properly (and clearly it doesn't, it's full of duplicates and is wildly erratic, you get different results with each refresh) it lacks basic functions.
Just absolutely bizarre, do they do any ua testing? I've not seen a single person that likes the new one.
29-12-2024 7:42 AM
I think that the Tech Guys at eBay must have a peculiar mindset. They are now restricting us from buying! I have made comments but am not holding my breath!

This link no longer works for me it automatically takes you to the new feed
