In the next few weeks, when you search for an item, we may show Related Search suggestions below the search box on the search results page and other places on the site. These suggestions are based on what has worked in the past for other buyers and are completely optional. Simply click on one of the suggestions to change your search.

We will show two types of Related Searches:

• Suggestions to refine your search
  
  Sometimes adding more keywords to your search will help you find exactly what you want. Say you search on "DVD player". We might suggest a more specific search, such as "progressive scan DVD player", that other buyers have used in the past before ultimately placing a bid.
  
  
• Search alternatives
  
  Other times you may be interested in a certain subject area, but aren't looking for an exact item. For example, if you are a Star Wars fan, you might search for something Star Wars-related. If you type “Star Wars” in the search box, we might recommend also trying a search for “Darth Vader”. These recommendations are again based on what buyers have done in the past.
