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 -

Thanks, for taking a look

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

That's a massive help, thanks so much

You are very welcome! Hopefully eBay will correct the broken page links shortly.
