What have those *** people at ebay done now?

[SevenOfDiamonds]

Maybe three letters is now deemed to be too few to allow a search . . .



. . . or is it just me?

Hm I have an ongoing issue where I hit the wring button at the Post Office to send an item and lost the QR code. Ebay now thinks the item is almost posted. Asked the bot that was well US, then fancy that on trying to finfd a print file on my dumb phone found that it is in an email. Here is hoping that works in the morning, why oh why did the chatbot not suggest that?

Yes, just a temporary glitch, it seems. I'm all too used to ebay making things harder so maybe jumped too quickly to the wrong conclusion.

All the best

Just tried 'lgb' and it came up with 1900+ results. 1778 are in the G scale section however 28 of them are in the N gauge section!

Perhaps you managed to put a space at the start of your input. That can confuse things .

Lucky you did not end up with a load of Lesbian Gay and Bi-sexual stuff.

Oh, isn't that what this thread is about? Annoying when all I get is about toy trains.

I tried to search for a book entitled 42. Apparently you need at least 3 characters to do a search.

I have searched for LGB and had entirely that reply, nit LGB trains which is what I was looking for.

That's on a different Level

Oh any experts here know how to get funds out of Ebay to another parties Bank Account or to your own Bank Account not via a purchase? Used to be easy but had an extensive search last night and could not find anything.

Hetting funds out of anything now is impossible

Ooh those bass lines Maybe Ebay's algorithm crashed as it thought you wanted the answer to the meaning of life and everything. You need to be more specific. Max

When I first got into G Scale twenty odd years ago, I did an internet search for any clubs or societies local to me where might go and seek advice. I was delighted to find there was an LGB club at Keele University which is only half an hour's drive away.

Let's just say, I don't think the advice they would have given me was quite what I was looking for.

At shows I always warn parents not to let their kids put LGB into a web search

The three character limit applies to lots of forums, including this one. However, it doesn't apply to eBay.

I find that, along with trains, I get Little Golden Books....
