Here is an easy way to search across all of eBay's Forums. There are dozens of discussion groups, and eBay gives you no central way to search them all at once. While I was researching my newest book, "Selling on 'the River' - The eBay Seller's Guide to Amazon.com", and I found an easy way to locate eBay sellers, who also sell on Amazon.
Use Google's site-specific search command to search eBay's groups.
- Start at www.Google.com
- type "site:forums.ebay.com" in the search box (no spaces) followed by a space and your search term

That is a great idea, after all this time, I never thought of using Google in that way, it is much better than the old fashioned forum search. Nice article :-)
Brilliant tip! I met with eBay recently and moaned about the boards. They are so so old. A company of it’s size could so easily afford to move to a smarter, more functional set of forums at minimal cost and everyone would be the better for it.
This will do in the meantime. Thanks
