Powersellers should realllllllly be upset! I found a bakelite bracelet STUCK in with other Bakelite bracelets that had 2days & 6hours left to go...the seller had a star rating of 4.5 on S&H.... how is this ranking going to help Ebay when the sellers DO NOT sell.

I went through the first 5 pages of "time ending soonest" and everything is in perfect chronological order. I don't understand why you're seeing different.

I dont know either. From my Ebay page when I do a search this is my url...
http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/SaleSearch?sofocus=bs&...oo%3D1&fcl=3&frpp=50

and also from the advanced search page same thing

Your URL is also displaying perfect chronological order.

halfway down the first page is Pink Marbled Bakelite bracelet 1h 38m time left.. stuck between 4h 13m & 2h 29m.....off course the times will change a bit

I see the item you refer to, and the items above and below are in correct time order. No 4hr items showing.

if what you are saying is true then Ebay is really playing games because I have checked other titles and I get the same thing on... time ending soonest

Stop leaving messages the exact same instant I do!

ok I figured it out......I had time ending soonest checked but what I was getting was "best match"

mea culpa Jeffs....... I think others will have the same search problem & not know what to do

Explain that... How?

well I cant explain Ebay's search..but if I logout & do a search .. I am getting best match & not TES

When I started to check further...I had to go and first check best match..search..and then go back to check TES ...then the search was ok.....

What happens if you use the link I posted on the previous page?

This one:

http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/AdvSearch?sofindtype=13

I may be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that Best Match is the default now. I've always had my searches show up with TES, but now they're all showing Best Match and I have to manually change it..Just another PITA...

As I said... Mine are not. Try using that link to search I provided.

Jeffs...when I use your link..I am getting best match...not TES..this is how Ebay can play with searches.. how many people will actually change anything when looking for something

Hey ya'll. Mine defaults to best match through your link, Jeff.

I must have some "special status" at eBay as a "revered Elder" or something.

Mine still goes to "Ending: Time soonest"

Oh boy, something good for a change. I just got my first DSR Watch email, and it was about me. My Shipping & Handling star just went up +.1 from 4.7 to 4.8, so now I'm, 4.8 across the board. I guess if I were a power seller, I should be very happy because I'd get a 15% discount, but since I'm not one of the "elitists" I'm just happy with my own performance.

I thing eBay should extend this discount to ALL sellers who maintain good customer service. Obviously they think non-powersellers are some sort of low life.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I started printing the postage amounts on the USPS label instead of hiding it. This way the buyer sees the postage amount matches exactly what they paid and you're not screwing them for extra money.

2 buyers ago I was very happy...my DSR was 4.8 across .. Joy Joy......only the last buyer didnt rate me well on my Communication & Shipping ...I went down .1 on each. 1 person can wreck your DSR ....
My Shipping is exact per USPS & what do they want on Communication ?? She bought the item I shipped next day.....what more is there to say?
