silly ebay questions

1. when I am in my ebay, enter "supercharger" in the search, ebay redirects me to

buy.ebay.co.uk/supercharger

which doesn't show up the usual list.

now if I put in "Ford engine" it displays the normal list, directing me to
search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=ford+engine

I am puzzled as to why I should be redirected to buy.ebay.co.uk for "supercharger"

I can get round this by then searching for supercharger in Cars parts section.

2. I've notice recently that when viewing an item in a search. I can no longer go back to the list by using "back" button in brower - there is a link "back to list of items" that has to be used instead. Has anyone else spotted this?

3. and when bidding on an item and you want to see latest bids, there is now a link "refresh this" that is far quicker than pressing the refresh button in brower. Seem to be a new feature too, a good one in this instance.

The supercharger thing is new to Ebay its an "Ebay keyword". If you look at the location of the search its at
Home > Buy > eBay Keywords > supercharger

quote:
eBay Keywords is a list of popular search terms on eBay. Each eBay Keyword has its own page that where you can see all the items eBay has for that keyword.

I think as an idea it sucks. But hey....

Not sure about the 2nd problem (ie going back to search list). Works fine for me with FF....

nothing wrong with a good old super charger, I got a crank driven one kicking around the garrage, not for sale though as I might fit it to the v6 if I get brave enough

ebay keywords

at the top right of the main items bit there is a "show all items" button - hit that and it takes you back to the "normal list itmes view"
