encased works on my test, Dave. Are you hitting return or clicking on the icon after you enter the search string? By the way, the URL I gave you is what you get when you click on "Home" on any of the eBay pages.

I haven't received email from you since I asked you to confirm I had your correct address. What email program do you use?

I wouldn't think your eBay problem would be related to your pc clock problems, but without knowing the reason for the failure, it's impossible to say.
