eBay seems to have removed alteration to their Best Match search algorithm

You could always specify a default method, and that lasted like forever. Now it's gone. You can still use it, but you have to reset it for every search. Wonder if it's temporary, just to make more money at the end of the quarter to force higher priced items on users, or more likely permanent.

eBay is failing in my view. My bucket list of items from 2002 is almost empty, nothing more to crave.

1. Bucket list?

lol I depleted my bucket list a long time ago, and now I spend more time looking for those items in my storage than I ever did at sales.

2. eBay answered! They hid the search very well in a popup marked advanced only

available after a specific item search. I looked for weeks in "Preferences" on my account, which is where it was several years back when I last looked, I think that's what I recall. But again, why would they do that? Show buyers higher priced items to make more money!!
