Any one having trouble doing searches on ebay?

[KS Toronado]

When I do a search the results stay up a very short time and up pops "Pickup where you left off" page with cars & Broncos I've looked at recently or a "Things you might be interested in" page and shows crap from old searches.

I've tried everything I could think of and yes did several advanced searches and completed & sold items, and every
time my search results stay up maybe 15 seconds and they disappear and up pops their f**king advertisements
because they know better what I'm interested in than I do.

So any one having the same trouble? Went through their help center and that was no help with their stable genius

1. I haven't been on there for several years, but ...

... maybe try a search on Google and select ones that show Ebay hits?
If you refine the search enough you'll get good info before you jump onto Ebay's website.
I've gotten those popup nuisances at other websites and I just leave immediately. Very annoying.

3. Great idea, I'll try that right now.

2. I don't use eBay but just found an article that might explain why you're suddenly seeing more ads -

they're now charging their sellers much more for advertising if anyone clicks on an ad:

4. That was very informative, ebay is greedy

But has nothing to do with the problem I'm having, but maybe it has everything to do with it with them
wanting to keep ads in your face. Betting I never get a reply from them for my inquires.

5. What you wrote here

maybe it has everything to do with it with them
wanting to keep ads in your face

is why I thought it might be connected. They want you to click on an ad - ANY ad - and if you haven't clicked on anything on a search results page within 15 seconds, that to them might mean there's a risk you'll go away without clicking on anything. So they put more ads in front of you, very quickly.
