    Not sure but ebay may have just missed up ebay motors. My saved searches no longer work. They take me to their new "improved" ebay motors screen...and ask me what I'm looking for.

    Anyone else having problems?

    PS : no Shelbys in their new Muscle Car theme search area.

    I have the same complaint. Seems someone thought that the old site was "broken". Morons.

    Someone was probably promoted internally after the feat. I can see it on their performance feedback now; "...breathed life into tired search engine on ebay motors..."

    I found it to be irratic. At times I could not get my favorite searches to work as you found. Then for no reason, the searches work once again. Another problem, depending on how you search under your saved searches, I get back a different number of found cars. Ebay is looking for feedback on items such as these.

    I just dont really like the design in general of the new ebay motors. The old one was easier to navigate through and far better done....my computer tends to alternate between the two versions.

    I agree with Vern, the old version seemed much easier to navigate. Maybe in time I will like this version better, but I doubt it.:blink:

    I remember when I first joined eBay in 1997, very few items for sale had pictures to accompany them, payments were done by mail and the Fraud incidents were rampant. but they trudged forward. every time I got used to their format, it would change! apparently the saga continues!!:mad:

    E-bay is only trying to improve itself..Just like "Coke" did years ago.

    I have to agree,the old format was easyer to navigate. Things never stay the same! Just when you get use to something!

    If you like the old ebay, all you have to do is hit the link that says "Switch Back to the original Ebay site"

    Hope this helps
