Had a problem in search where I was research a particular item’s going price. I searched the item’s name and sorted by lowest cost first. Most of the beginning items were obviously used, so then went to item specifics of Condition = New. Then eBay changed a word in my search term and showed me zero items. Why would they change what I was searching for? I had to put quotation marks around my word to check eBay from changing it. Then eBay showed me 3 new items. Going back to the search prior to selection New only, I went through the list and found at least 14 New items that match mine.
Great job, World’s Best Technology Company!
