PodOne Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Hi folks I might be doing something stupid my end but have E Bay changed the way it works in terms of searching for items? Eg I've use "triumph TR6 car parts", "triumph TR6 car parts used" or "triumph TR car parts" as search terms for years now and its worked fine using Newly listed or Best Match. Last few days all I get is listings days or weeks old with none of the usual folk who list parts on there. Any pointers? Thanks Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Ebay has changed - it used to be where you looked for used parts, but nowadays it's mainly new items, 'brand new', just like Amazon. Are you using the Category selector - far right of the search box - to stipulate "Car Parts & Accessories"? And the "Best Match" selector (two lines below that) that will choose "Newly listed"? Those might bring the items you want to see to the top of the list. Strangely, I've just done a such a search for "Triumph TR6", and there are are four used items just appeared, while the same search for "Triumph Vitesse" has the same total number of finds, but almost all of them are 'used'. Maybe more Vitesses are being broken right now? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deggers Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Also, for used items : From the drop down menu under "Condition" at the top of the listings, click "Used" to narrow your search. Or likewise, by scrolling down the left side of the page. Edited May 21, 2022 by Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ntc Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Be aware that from December you will have no protection from PayPal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) It now seems that whatever search terms are entered the results are peppered with random items with no connection and usually in huge swathes. Edited May 21, 2022 by Drewmotty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PodOne Posted May 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Thanks for the above all. A bit better search, but it seems to be a negative step by e bay for sellers and buyers experience alike. Why has PayPal withdrawn protection? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No longer in the EU read the new terms carefully Quote Link to post Share on other sites
