My article doesn’t show up in search when sorted by lowest price.
Summary: jock1259 reports a problem with selling an English-language collectible item that doesn’t appear in the search results during price sorting when the terms “English” or “Englisch” are used. An attempt to relist the item with a different title did not improve things. perfect-sally notes that the search function has been buggy for a long time.
Hello community, I have a problem.
I’m trying to sell a very expensive collector’s item (Rifbound T1 Worlds Signature Edition in English). This set is very much in demand right now and exists in several languages. The English version is the most valuable.
But as soon as you add the words "English" or "English" to the search query, my item can no longer be found when sorting by "Lowest price first". If you leave those terms out and only search for e.g. "Riftbound T1", the item is listed again.
Right now my item is one of the cheapest in the English version, but it still isn’t being found there.
And with generic searches, several pages of less valuable variants in other languages appear first.
Does anyone have an idea of how this could be fixed as quickly as possible?
Listing the item again with a different title didn’t help either. It is noted in the title, the item description, and in the eBay tag that this is the English variant.

OP3 weeks agoThis is really annoying, since prices fluctuate quite a lot and the last sales are also roughly in that price range. It would be really disappointing if it ended up failing because the search function decided so.
