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.

Search Failures
Tech support... what’s going on? Searches not working! Does ebay monitor these technical problem reports, or are all of us frustrated users just talking to each other? I wish we had some indication about what ebay says is going wrong, and what they are doing to fix it.... I need to know when I ca…
“Advanced Search error”
When attempting an “Advanced Search” I continually get the following error message: This site can’t be reached Check if there is a typo in srcore.vip.ebay.com. If spelling is correct, try running Windows Network Diagnostics.DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Ebay UK search is defaulting to USA settings
Tried to do my usual daily searches and EBay.uk site keeps running searches as if I live in USA. I know how to use EBay so don’t blame the user, something is wrong with the Ebay software/tech.

Not the only glitch going on....
Advanced Search Not Working July 1, 2021
The Advanced Search is not working on any browser.

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.

Absolutely agree with other people here - this Ebay "simple postage" is a wheeze to squeeze more out of private sellers. I live walking distance to the post office (2 minute walk) and it's 4 miles to my local Evri drop off point. I don't have a car. So will have to opt for Royal Mail only - which in turn adds an extra few pence to the postage. Previously a 2nd mail parcel was £3.25, with this it's going to be an increase of nearly 50%. The biggest increase is for the 1-2kg parcels, which previously qualified as small parcels.

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.
