[78-L] oyVey has made a change effective today

[Alan Bunting]

Strange - my daily e-mail simply says "78rpm records" and that's just what I get (plus asorted turntables etc. which have 78rpm in the item description) but no 45s or LPs.  Maybe ebay has some subtle differences here in the UK?

>>Dear friends:

>>I use standing searches at eBay to alert me when items of prospective

>>wild card searches. (OK, so it's not all bad, you can now conduct one 
>>worldwide search instead of searching eBay France, UK, Germany, etc.) 
>>So I redid all my searches.
>>
>>On some of them, I am trying to restrict results to 78 rpms only, NOT 
>>"records" (which includes LPs, 45s and 78s.) And I am seemingly unable 
>>to save that option: it keeps defaulting to "records". Has anyone else 
>>faced this problem, and has anyone else found a remedy? Thanks for 
>>letting us know.
>>
>>Very best,
>>
>>Joel

>>oyVey now states:
>>
>>Search using the wildcard symbol (*) is no longer supported.
>>
>>This means that sellers who misspell terms at the end of the word are 
>>less likely to be captured in a search.  Before today's change, I could

>>
>>Hammerst*
>>
>>and get both Hammerstein and Hammerstien listings.
>>
>>I phoned oyVey customer support to request a review and reconsideration 
>>of this change./steve
