Nothing will come up if it miss spelled. If they fixed the search engine, buyers would probably stay to buy. As it is, I'm frustrated after the first search. Example: I was looking for a Samsung J1 glass replacement. I put in Samsuang (miss spelled) (No results), I put in Samsung J1parts (No results), I put in Samsung glass replacement (no Results) and so on and so on.... Finally I put in Samsung J1 and got results. I can put in any combination, miss spelled, side ways, up side down, what ever into eBay and always get results.
The Samsung is a small example, try something harder.........forget it, ebid results will be null.
On the other hand I have also been with eBay since 1999 and have made some very satisfying sales. But I'm displeased with the excessive fees, the dictatorship and eBay posting another sellers same item right on my auction page, in the middle of my auction and just under my auction , and especially dissatisfied with the final value on shipping. That is just wrong.
I recently stop selling on eBay. I'm currently back on ebid after a couple of yrs. not selling with them in hopes they would of straighten out their search engine problem. But they have not !
