Hmm, I guess I haven't used eBay in a while. But I can still search for
completed auctions. Are you talking about that fact that they only keep
completed auctions online for a limited time? It's been that way for
years now.

Anyway, as much as I hate eBay and their policies (they claim to be
interested in stamping out fraud but actions speak louder than
words...they're only interested in making money) and would love to see
them flounder, I don't see that happening (any time soon at least).
