Totally agree, Ed!
As an eBay user for more than a decade, the ability to name and rename searches was helpful!
Recently, this option has seemed to disappear---so now my searches consist of very long, search keywords, with no context whatsoever (that can be given by a clear and precise name).
So, Yes---you are correct, that eBay Canada does not care an iota about its users (ie. those users buying items on eBay)!
We can only hope that a rival company creates their own auction program --- to compete with and replace eBay soon!
