Weird pagination arrow problem is driving me bonkers - need some tech expertise

When I view promotions sections like Refurbished or Sale, the previous and next arrows, along with the page numbers, all work as normal, until I get to a second or third subcategory. Then they stop working. It doesn't happen when I use general search.

 

For example -

 

Refurbished/Furniture - the arrows and numbers link to the next page as they should

 

But when I go to a subcategory in Furniture like...

 

Refurbished/Furniture/Sofas, Armchairs & Couches - the arrows are greyed out and the page numbers do nothing

 

I have no coding knowledge at all but I used Inspect Accessibility Properties to check the next page arrow on a working page and compared it to a non-working page in both Firefox (both with add-ons and in safe mode) and Chrome (no add-ons). In all cases the problem was the same.

 

The working page arrow has a link (below in bold). The sub-category page arrow is just a button that goes nowhere. What is going on?

 

The arrow code from Firefox and Chrome is below.

 

This is next page arrow on the Refurbished/Furniture page -

 

Firefox

{"name":"Go to next page","role":"link","actions":["Jump"],"value":"https://www.ebay.co.uk/e/special-events/roe-shop-all/Furniture/3197?_dmd=2&_sop=12&_stpos=TN37+7JA&_pgn=4&_fcid=3","nodeCssSelector":".pagination__next","nodeType":1,"description":"","keyboardShortcut":"","childCount":0,"indexInParent":3,"states":["focusable","linked","selectable text","opaque","enabled","sensitive"],"children":[],"attributes":{"margin-left":"0px","text-align":"start","draggable":"true","text-indent":"0px","margin-right":"0px","tag":"a","class":"pagination__next icon-link","margin-top":"0px","margin-bottom":"0px","display":"flex","explicit-name":"true"}}

 

Chrome

<a type="next" href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/e/special-events/roe-shop-all/Furniture/3197?_dmd=2&amp;_sop=12&amp;_stpos=%3..." _sp="p4589523.m148485.l157771" data-track="{&quot;eventFamily&quot;:&quot;BROWSE&quot;,&quot;eventAction&quot;:&quot;ACTN&quot;,&quot;actionKind&quot;:&quot;CLICK&quot;,&quot;operationId&quot;:&quot;4586122&quot;,&quot;flushImmediately&quot;:false,&quot;eventProperty&quot;:{&quot;enableTrackingStandard&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;moduledtl&quot;:&quot;Pageselected:0|mi:148485|iid:1|li:157771|luid:1&quot;,&quot;sid&quot;:&quot;p4589523.m148485.l157771&quot;}}" class="pagination__next icon-link" aria-label="Go to next page" style="min-width:40px"><svg class="icon icon--16" focusable="false" aria-hidden="true"><use href="#icon-arrow-right-16"></use></svg></a>

 

This is the next page arrow on the Refurbished/Furniture/Sofas, Armchairs & Couches page -

 

Firefox

{"name":"Go to next page","role":"button","actions":["Press"],"value":"","nodeCssSelector":".pagination__next","nodeType":1,"description":"","keyboardShortcut":"","childCount":0,"indexInParent":3,"states":["unavailable","focusable","opaque"],"children":[],"attributes":{"margin-left":"0px","text-align":"center","text-indent":"0px","margin-right":"0px","tag":"button","class":"pagination__next icon-btn","margin-top":"0px","margin-bottom":"0px","display":"flex","explicit-name":"true"}}

 

Chrome

<button type="next" href="" _sp="p4589523.m148485.l157771" data-track="{&quot;eventFamily&quot;:&quot;BROWSE&quot;,&quot;eventAction&quot;:&quot;ACTN&quot;,&quot;actionKind&quot;:&quot;CLICK&quot;,&quot;operationId&quot;:&quot;4586122&quot;,&quot;flushImmediately&quot;:false,&quot;eventProperty&quot;:{&quot;enableTrackingStandard&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;moduledtl&quot;:&quot;Pageselected:0|mi:148485|iid:1|li:157771|luid:1&quot;,&quot;sid&quot;:&quot;p4589523.m148485.l157771&quot;}}" class="pagination__next icon-btn" aria-disabled="true" aria-label="Go to next page" style="min-width:40px"><svg class="icon icon--16" focusable="false" aria-hidden="true"><use href="#icon-arrow-right-16"></use></svg></button>

 

Thanks, for taking a look

Weird pagination arrow problem is driving me bonkers - need some tech expertise

As a clunky workaround, here is a link that takes me to page 2 of the Sofas list:

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/e/special-events/roe-shop-all/sofas,-armchairs-&-couches/38208?_dmd=1&_fcid=3...

 

Try changing the sort order or switch between list or gallery view, and then add a &_pgn=2 at the end of the page URL where the 2 corresponds to the page number.
