Just been reminded of another annoying glitch with ebay's main 'search'. It's that a new search returns results as if for your previous search. It happens to me every so often, varies from mildly inconvenient to hugely inconvenient.
For instance: just now I searched "crystalline circles" (eBay's main 'search'). But then I realised stupid forgetful me already owns the complete Crystalline. So I searched for what I originally meant: "petals and paper", and close to the top of the results it showed me some for Petals & Paper mixed in with some Crystalline, actually more Crystalline as presumably it's a more popular sales range.
In life's big picture this is all minor. But with the capable technology long in existence, I'd hope for better. I can try searching again later, but some might simply buy elsewhere. I could even buy new from the manufacturer, but I hoped for a declutterer selling it cheap secondhand.
The glitch happens only every so often. Has anyone else had it? It needs a permanent fix please, as does the seller shop 'search' glitch mentioned in my earlier post, so I'll keep an eye and maybe post in Technical.
