Search result showing out of stock items

33944 10 0

Hi!
This is a great tool to help with bidding on ebay.
I've started using tools - search function, but it showed out of stock items as well, which I found to be confusing. I have to click every item to check whether or not it is in stock. Maybe it could be configured with a search keywords?
Also, do you think it is possible to integrate new items from search list notifications coming immediately on email or on by telegram bot?
Best regards, Andrii

Hello Andrii,
Thank you for your question about the search. Thanks for your feedback on the search.
1. Could you provide a search that shows this issue consistently?
2. I researched this and there isn't any particular filter for out-of-stock items. However, there is a filter for "auction only" items. It can also exclude Fixed Price and BIN. Would that help?
3. If you are computer savvy, yes you can use Telegram or Botfather to poll our API, but there would have to be a limit to the number of calls for only the most critical searches. You could also get a developer account at eBay for personal use and do it that way.
I hope I answered your questions. Please let me know if I can help further.

We added a checkbox to the search, "Auctions Only." This will filter out any Fixed Price. It _will_, however, show any BIN's that can be converted to an auction.
I hope this helps with the issue you reported above.

Sorry, somehow I did not notice your first reply.
Thank you for the replies!
I was hoping to record a video of the 'out of stock' items, but unfortunately I cannot see any items at all that are listed in the saved search list. I have 19 saved searches and they all are now blank. But I was able to get the results several hours ago.
Also, I forgot to mention the I didn't have an option to recall a search with min max price filter higher than $999.99. I could enter any number, but after saving, max price is displayed as 999.99

Ok, the prices can be stored up to 99999.99 now.
The searches work ok, but it wasn't showing the string. It does now.
Try the "Auctions Only" checkbox, and see if this helps. I'm hoping that there is no such thing as an "out of stock" auction. :)

Thank you!
I hope so :)
Did a quick check on one of the save searches. Recorded a video.

I saw the video. I'm not sure I can explain it, hopefully something temporary at eBay, but this may help. Here is the exact URL I'm using.

Notice also the "country_code" parameter.
You can fiddle with it and let me know if there is anything I can improve on my end.

By the way, the "query" string has to be URLencoded. (Spaces must be "%20". You can URLencode a query using this:
