I've often found that my browser is using a cached value of the
search page.  I wish Ebay would set the page up so that we couldn't
cache it, but oh well.

Under Netscape, hold down the SHIFT key while clicking reload to
force a full reload of the page irrespective of any caching.  I
don't know how to do it under IE (CTRL-RELOAD?)

Of course, there really could be problems with the search interface.
I've just had the cache problems too many times, though...


I'm getting really ticked at this now.  Out of 3 different ebay
search engines I've tried, the latest auctions listed that I
can see are from the 27th, the 26th, and the 26th.  And then
everything skips the 25th and 24th.  Today is the 28th, of course.

I've tried deleting caches, rebooting, killing security settings,
reloading pages, shift/ctrl/alt/nosescratch-reloads, and nothing
matters.  It's stuck, and I can't get the search results to update.

ebay says everything is just fine and it must be my browser needs
upgrading or something.  I think my machine is going flaky...

I wouldn't worry about your machine.  The item I mentioned earlier as being
missing from completed searches is also from the 24th.  It is still missing
even though older and now more recent items as well appear in the search.
The item is stil out there - just not indexed the way it used to be.  For
what it's worth, my vote is that it is them, not you.

(...) In trying to sort this mess out so that I can actually see recent auction listings, I went through every single directory on my machine and deleted anything that looked like a temporary or otherwise unneeded file. I deleted all caches, (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
