I'm finding Ebay far more difficult to navigate these days, both on my PC and iPhone app. Annabell.

Subject: [access-uk] Problem with Ebay?

Hello,

A couple of weeks ago, having been able to make many narrowing down
changes to what is displayed after doing a search for something, e.g.
"acoustic guitar", I find that Ebay has either changed its webpages or
NVDA can no longer view these options.

For example, you used to be ablel to do a search for "acoustic guitar"
and then, from the massive worldwide list that came up, use CONTROL NVDA
KEY F to search for and activate a "uk only" link. You could then do
anothe search for "auction" and narrow the list down further to guitars
being auctioned and not sold at a fixed price. You could then even
locate a dropdown combobox and select to get the list displayed in order
of what time the auction would be finished from soonest to last or get
those guitars nearest to where you live displayed first for personal
pick-up purposes.

You could also go to a combobox and get lots displayed within a given
distance from where you live only, e.g. within 5 miles, 15 miles, etc.
You could also activate a "completed Listings" link to see what had sold
and not sold recently with prices, etc.

None of the above can now be done on Ebay pages with NVDA and I think
this is the same with JAWS.

Does anyone know what they have done with these options or are they
there but now, for whatever reason, not visible to screenreaderrs?

Are other people experiencing this same problem?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.
John.
