eBay Search Problems Reported
In addition to the major technical problems being experienced by sellers today, it also appears eBay is having problems with their site search function as well.

Your advanced search is down..
Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

@AskeBay I can't search my store inventory which means neither can any buyers. I routinely get add-on sales so this is definitely costing me sales. @ValueAddedRS pic.twitter.com/nrFpZgdLiN

And yet again I have to note, the eBay System Status page shows no current disruptions despite obviously massive problems being experience by bother buyers and sellers.
As many of the items I sell are £10 or less, this makes it not worth the bother and I'll probably have to give it away to the charity shop.
Add that to the "buyer protection" fee they've added on - and the costs are making it untenable for people trying to clear the house, or make a few bob from old bits and pieces. Not happy at all and there doesn't seem to be a way of opting out.
The sooner these sleazebags at the top can be got rid of, or some community-run buy/sell/swap sites come up - the better. We don't need ebay.
