So apparently Ebay has done another update to the app completely ruining it's functionality & causing no end of frustration - this is almost always the case & I expect it now, I forgot to turn off 'auto update' as I usually have to do on EBay as it seems this is endemic.
Usually you save a search term under the category you wish to search under. If a new item comes up, a blue dot appears next to the saved search. Since the date the App has decided to search the saved term & alert if there's something new under any category; result - blue dots next to almost everything all the time even when search terms are saved in quotation marks to try & get around the update. I follow 'Eastman', a leather clothing jacket maker, and I get an alert because someone's selling a Saxophone with Eastman in the title. The saved search function which is really the main reason I use the app now completely useless - hard to fathom the incompetence here unless the people who do the updates literally never use their own program whatsoever. Any idea how to get around this or do I just pack in using EBay again & hope enough complaints come in for it to get fixed next update? Thanks.
