Yeah, that would be something to try, but I was wary of stirring up trouble -
eBay might decide to void the sale, etc. Maybe I should.
My message to this list was as much a warning, as it was a query if anyone
had any idea why this was happening, or if they'd seen similar behaviour
before.
I've seen similar behavior before, and other search problems. At one point in
time,
eBay's search engine worked just fine. Then, a number of years ago, they
revised their
-- supposedly making it 'smarter' -- and ever since then, it hasn't worked as
well --
for me at least. It seems more akin to Amazon's search engine... where no
matter how
specific you try to get, it lists everything remotely related.
