I find the new search format to be very difficult at best. The fact that we now have to make choices such as seller, price ranges and too many specifics. I'll try to make one good point. When I search for an item items come up in different formats and fewer  come up. One prime example is the price range choice. That will work less times than not. Everyone can't know the price range of everything. So now we're guessing. If somenone with that particular item is selling for less than others they will be in a lower price range and thier item won't come up. The whole format leaves everything vague and depends a lot on guess work. It now takes much more time to locate items. It is unfair to selleres and buyers. Are we heading for an Ebay that only the very knowledgable can use? A lot of Ebayers do it to raise a little extra money or clean out items around thier home. This group of people, which is very large could be selling items way too low and missing out on funds they should have recieved. We all can't know the proper price ranges and like anyone we all love a bargain. To find these bargains we will now have to play plug and search. Start at lowest amount and work up. I don't believe this format is conducive to the average ebayer.
