ebay motors question

Has anyone else noticed this: when I search ebay for Ford trucks I used to click on cars and trucks only. Now I can't find that option. Did they remove that option to make us look through the myriad stuff of parts of which some are not even related to old Ford trucks or did they change the website and movbe that trucks only option?

They've made searches about useless nowadays. They've even changed "Saved Searches" to "Searches I Follow". Most of our stuff is now in a Vintage Auto section, hard to find.

I just tried a search for 1966 Charger. I was able to select the "cars and trucks" option

I know its unlikely but maybe there was no listings that matched your search...I don't know

I have the option on my app on my iPhone under "refine." For example, right now there are 777 results in eBay motors for "1956 ford f100" but then I refined it to just "cars and trucks" and the search yields 13 results.

Hopefully you can find that too cause I agree, sorting through all the other stuff that comes up first is horrible.

That is what I am talking about but on ebay on my computer right now I can not find "refine". a All I see is advanced and I click on that and there is no option for "cars and trucks only." I will look for it later as I have to go with the wife to tag a Christmas tree.

thanks!

They have screwed up that site so bad that I rarely go on it anymore. It seems that if something is working they want to see just how badly they can screw it up.

Then they ask for your opinion on how they are doing, and if you like the changes. I tell them straight up as I pointed up above, but never get a reply. As far as I am concerned its a good thing gone bad.

Ok, let's see if we can get it figured out. I first typed in "ebaymotors.com" and went to the website.

Then in the search bar, I typed "1956 f100."

On the top left of the page there is an option for "cars and trucks" under the Categories.



Good luck!

I use the advanced option and it lets me pick make, model and years. Then I can choose current options or finished options. I find whatever I need very quickly.

I go to ebay motors, then collector cars home page. On the right side of the page near the top there is an "advanced" button. I click that and then pick and choose what I am looking for. Very refined searches.
