Title: Stupid eBay search
Post by: tellomon on January 27, 2010, 04:34:32 AM

Chew on this:

1) I'm lurking the eBay US Forums.

2) I wanna go see what kind of jems are between the junk there are in the Cymbals listings, so I go to the search bar, enter: percussion>musical instruments.

3) I get to the "All Instruments" Index; click Percussion.

4) Click Cymbals. Total number of listings in ALL categories: 127.
3 pages of new junk. No cool 'gotta-have' items, at all......

5) Go to the top of page 3, click Percussion. Get there. Click Cymbals.

Now the listings are over 11,000!!!!

Also, the page numbers are below the listings, NOT below the sponsored links.

What's more: the total number of listings in ALL categories of Percussion went up astronomically.

WTF is going on with those nongs??????

I do not bother to use Search now, tello. I had similar things happen when, out of curiosity, I did some searches for certain Belleek items. It was frustrating!

I've experienced similar weird things with searches.

You're not alone.

Huh.....

That's strange..

I've been lurking Drum gear on eBay without being logged in.

Saw a Goodie, so I logged in to put it on my Watch List.

Ok.

Returned to the listings, and all the prices went up.

Could it have been a currency change?

So it could be a volatile exchange rate between USD and Montello Dollars then...?
