Ebay search questions

2 questions for now the first came up in a glicker thread the other day, but don't hold that against me please.

1: If you click a link someone posts and its still live it goes to the item in question. Lately however after it has ended , clicking the link does not bring you to the ended listing , ebay helpfully decides you want to see a similar item and goes to a live listing it thinks is similar. When did this foolishness start and how do you shut it off?

2: When searching it seems to me I could filter out auctions to exclude items with no bids , in other words I only want items with bids to show up. There are a lot of auction listings that are wildly overpriced and just keep ending without any bids , I'm trying to exclude those.

    I noticed that... I had placed a bid on a Joe Louis cent.... and then missed the ending since I was at the gun range doing some night shooting. When I checked to see what it closed at... I kept getting some blank slug that "I might be interested in"....Weird... finally found a way to see it the next day.... Cheers, RickO
