Looking for tools on eBay is a nightmare.

[TimDaToolMan]

They have 3 categories for tools!

eBay Motors>Parts & Accessories>Automotive Tools>Hand Tools>Sockets & Ratchets

Home & Garden>Tools>Hand Tools>Wrenches>Socket Wrenches


Business & Industrial>Industrial Supply & MRO>Professional Tools>Hand Tools>Sockets & Socket Sets


I wish I could sit and just look at the whole tool category. 3 Categories is stupid.

I wouldn't care if that was the only issue.

Their search has been overcommercialized as well.
No, I don't want 40 supported ads for **** that doesn't even match my search.
No, I don't want listings of **** overseas when I've very recently set it to US only.
No, I don't want extra steps to search titles & descriptions within the changes you recently implemented.

Using the search bar is much easier. Long metric hex socket set or 1/2 impact socket set for example.

The search function is your friend...on both EBay and on here...

There's a 4th too for antique tools, or collectible tools or something like that.

If you know what you're looking for it's not bad, if you're just browsing it can be a bit much. Also, be aware of what you're actually buying. If you find something you're interested in, google it first. You may be surprised to find that it's cheaper new.

I don't have a such a problem finding things; as much as I am unwilling to pay the high prices people list things for!
