Ebay: Odder And Odder
You do a search, it tells you it can't find what you're looking for - before showing you what you're looking for.
I do love all this techno-wizardry. Particularly sat-navs which direct unwary drivers into ploughed fields.

Re: Ebay: Odder And Odder
You’ve got to admire the dogged determination and can do spirit of ebay—they continually find new ways to worsen the experience. Another new feature, similar to the one you describe above, is when you’re searching for some thing, say a band or garment maker with an unusual name, it will change the word and say “searched for (similar but common word). Search for (original word) instead??? Thus adding another unnecessary step.

Then - the sellers themselves.
Example: a Southwick-Paul Stuart suit.
'Ask sizes'.
WTF?
'Ask sizes'?

Re: Ebay: Odder And Odder
This evening, enthused by a comment from JFM on Sir John Lally, I conduct an idle search for a 'muted' Paisley tie. Tootal. 100% silk claims the seller - 100% polyester proclaims the BIG, BIG photograph.
