Ebay searches

Has anyone noticed a recent change to English speaking ebay sites when doing a search for smurf or smurfs?

It used to give you 95% or so an accurate search result but not now. On English and American ebay, my "saved searches" for smurf now give me thousands of other toys which is a pain in the rectum to say the least

When I choose a subtopic, am worried that I am now missing stuff...………...

Well, when I try to find smurfs on eBay.co.uk from a french computer, I think I can't access the whole auctions. I said this many times. It's so difficult to buy smurfs from UK !
But nothing changes : still a few auctions with few interest

It's gone completely tits up now Arno. Absolute mess. I won that green pencil Secretary from the seller in France for £2.50. Couldn't resist that one for some reason even though I know it's suspect... totally suspect :)

I am so jalous. I wanted that one with green pencil - just could not access the auction. What a pity ; it was so cheap, even if it is a fake

I have noticed this when searching for smurfs on eBay UK for the last couple of weeks. At this point eBay AU is still showing smurfs only when searching for smurfs.

I do also agree with Arno that I can’t see all the listings that Tommo and Martin can see. I searched but never found the Secretary with a green pencil. I understand that not all sellers are willing to send to Australia but I just want to look at their listings.
