Ebay says "That's enough"

Look at this. Ebay thinks searching 10,000 listings is enough.
No more coins for you!

What the heck are you searching for? Heck, I have searches that when I get back 120 results I groan because all of the time it will take me to go through all of those.

 

It takes me less than 30 mins to look over 10k listings.

 

He was searching for coins.

 

That's 3/1000ths of a second per listing.

Very through review.

 

Math FTW (For the win)

Cam, I'm sure it was just a typo when you omitted the first "o", but "through" might be more appropriate......as in "drive through".

Does Evelyn Wood train computers to read faster?

That's 1800 seconds to look over 50 pages (200 listings each page). That's 36 seconds per page. Perfectly do-able (don't click on each listing, just scroll, and click only on what I'm interested in, add to watch list, quickly back). Depending on how many interesting items I see, it can take a bit less or more than 30 mins. No kidding.

 

I took the Evelyn Wood course and read the Redbook in 30 seconds. It's about coins.

 

One doesn't have to look at all 10,000 results either. I find sorting by time ending or time listed to be very helpful. I often snatch up just listed buy-it-now auctions that are priced to sell.

 

Yes...it was a typo. But, it does sorta work.

 

They got rid of wildcard searches, effed up the feedback system, made it so you cannot leave negatives for NPBs, raised fees, make you use payPoo only and you wonder why I don't bother with eBay?

 

Maybe he should become a coin grader! I kid, I kid...

 

The biggest beef I have with the eBay search engine is all of the listings which have absolutely nothing to do with what I am searching for. I type in Dansco and it gives me Whitman, Littleton and others. eBay used to enforce keyword spamming but now I believe they encourage it.

Why their search engine cannot handle more than 10,000 listing results now when it could before seems like they do not want their users researching competed listings and the total number of results may be reduced again in the future.

 

Weird limit. I just made a search and got 427,740 results in Coins category, no limit messages.
