As announced on 20 July, from today eBay will be reducing the number of Store Inventory Format listings which are shown in core search results on the Australian site. We will be returning the display of search results on eBay.com.au to the way it was in November 2005. The change commences today and will take several more days to complete.

Starting today, when less than 10 core listings appear in a search result we will now only show up to 10 relevant Store Inventory Format listings in that search result. If 10 or more core listings appear, we will not be showing any Store Inventory Format listings. Buyers who wish to search for Store Inventory Format listings will be able to do so by clicking the Buy it Now tab located at the top of any search result.

Later this month and in September we will be providing information and hosting online workshops to educate sellers on how to optimise their Stores and use them more effectively. We will also educate buyers on the benefits of purchasing from sellers with a Store.

More information about the change can be found on the Announcement Board.
