It seems that you can't search ebay for anything with a period or decimal point any more. One of the ways I search for $2.50 chips is to simply type $2.50. Today I'm getting the message below.

Your search doesn't include . because these characters aren't searchable on eBay. However, please check the search results below as your item may have appeared. If it hasn't, please try again.

I can't think of a way to pull up items with $2.50 in the description without typing $2.50. If you leave out the decimal point you either get items with 250 or 2 50 (space between the 2 and 50) in the title. Any suggestions as to how to get around this?
