Ebay is removing wildcard search function on Nov. 5th

you'd think getting rid of that will lower final prices because less people would find what they are looking for... i'm surprised.
 
The real reason must do with saving $ and server bandwidth. The search servers will not have to work as hard and the amount of data returned will be less. It will also present an issue for those "parasite" (for lack of a better word) sites that search and present ebay auctions although with a little bit of programming and imagination they can work around it.

ebay once again alienates users and falls further away from their roots.....

I disagree. I think it's morally repugnant to be able to search for wildcards!

;)

Just more ePain being ePain. I'm sticking with my theory that the site is now just some bizarre social experiment where they see just how far they can push their customer base until they reach the tipping point.
