Yeah I'm hugely frustrated by their recent updates that hide / obfuscate the filters, which is basically the main way you want to use the site. I'm pretty sure it's yet another casualty of optimising for phone normies :(

I agree! The filters made be go to the site, and I don't even live in any of the markets they serve! (Though I do visit, and sometimes buy tings based on what I've found through the site).

i just went back to check (i've already been there today) and there's an option "always show filters" in the upper right corner.

Good to know, thanks. I was looking for something like that but couldn't find it last time, maybe it's new?

Still makes about as much sense to me as Google adding a "always show search box" option that defaults to off :D
