Anybody else having the problem of saved "Favorite Searches" that no longer work?

Nearly all my old searches for cars & parts, saved either under the old eBay motors or more recently under the "new" eBay Motors now take me to a generic guided search screen on the new eBay Motors to start from scratch, so it appears my old ones are useless and I have to re-establish saved searches I've perfected and used for years. I have nearly a hundred "favorite searches" perfected over time to save me from searching through voluminous listings.

One would think they'd consider things like this when they make changes.

This gives you all the Stude Stuff. Once done loading, save the http icon to your tool bar. Don't bother with the Ebay search

At least for the time being, you can go here.....

formatting link

and where it says Welcome to the NEW eBay Motors, click on the "Switch back to the original eBay Motors".... It will take you back to the old format (until they dump it completely).

It will keep you in the old one until you close the browser.

Well, guess what? Now that page no longer says "welcome to the new eBay Motors", nor does it allow a switch back to the old eBay Motors, nor do my old searches work. So, still AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Well, I can't explain it, but it seems my old searches work fine for parts, but not if the search is for cars rather than parts... it just takes me to

formatting link

is a starter page for searches where you have to step through the "Cars & Trucks Finder"sequence of steps. There is no link on the screen for switching to another version of eBay Motors.
