Hi, my issue is with Ebay auto-correcting a search term in the URL from the second page of results onwards.

 

Eg, within a seller's store, search term "tandorio," a Chinese brandname, delivers the first page of results correctly but then it self-corrects to "tandoori" in the URL when I click the next page of search results. I have posted about this including links and screencaps in Community https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Technical-Issues/Ebay-autocorrecting-brand-names-in-URL-which-breaks...

 

It's also been reported before, changing "tuck" to "truck" for this user https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Technical-Issues/Unable-to-search-page-2-of-a-sellers-store-items-as...

 

I manually edited my search's URL in Notepad to view further items but smartphone app users are unlikely to do that. Asking users to add quotation marks to brandnames is also counter-intuitive on a site where brandnames are an extremely common form of search term, and where the site happily delivers on them for the first page of results.

 

I don't know what problem this was intended to solve, intervening at URL level in someone's existing search after the first page, but it seems likely to harm sellers, so please reconsider! 🙂
