Don't know about you but I get totally fed up with multiple listings of the same product on their site.
The other day I went on and searched for "Blue antifreeze". Then I filtered it with "Price + P&P - lowest first" and up came 18 (Yes! Eighteen) pages of the same item where the seller had just changed the make/model of car, thus "stealing" the lead on all the other sellers. Of course, I only found out the number of pages after I had trawled through them all to find the next item. So infuriating. Thus I became one of the Not-silent-majority, and contacted FLeBay to suggest that this seller should be curbed in some way.
They responded quickly and there was a bit of back and forth of views resulting in them telling me how to limit these sellers from your personal viewing; basically, though, you have to first find them (which I don't want to have to do) and then fanny around with advance settings They did, at least, forward my concerns onto their tech team.
Have you noticed that this multi-page listing comes up with non-classic related things for sale when you just do a search on "Datsun"? e.g. wheel trims etc.
AAaaarrrggh!!

yeah this has been going on for a while , pages of bulbs and wiper blades, and I certainly do let them know, also they have just removed their wildcard search (*) making searching for things take longer, I wish Google or someone would lauch a rival site as people would leave ebay like a sinking ship.

why on earth have they removed the wildcard (*) ?
i really like e bay and do a lot of buying on there, but it needs a viable rival....
