The response from the Community to the new finding has been great—today the vast majority of eBay buyers and sellers are using it. Some of you have sent great ideas for making it even better. We've incorporated a lot of these suggestions already and in the coming months we’ll be introducing more new features and enhancements to make it even faster and easier.

Sellers: Use product details!
For sellers, we’re continuing to expand opportunities to use product details in listings. Be sure to use them--it's one of the best ways to boost your exposure in the new search.

Retiring the older technology
Until now, buyers and sellers have been able to choose not to use the new search engine. With more than 90% of you now on board, we’ll be retiring the older technology in April of 2009. If you are one of the few who’s opted out, you’ll see some reminder messages during your searches.

On behalf of the whole Finding team, thank you for your support and insight.

Sincerely,

Jeff King
Senior Director of Finding

eBay AdCommerce is a pay-per-click advertising solution that allows eBay sellers to advertise their eBay Stores or specific listings through text ads on eBay search and browse result pages.

AdCommerce is a powerful advertising tool for sellers who want to drive more traffic to their Stores or give more visibility to a specific listing. Ads can be bought on either a category or keyword basis. The ads are shown on search results pages in the advertising section below the search results and are displayed to targeted buyers.

How eBay AdCommerce works

Let's say you want your ad to appear when buyers search for "computer." First you need to register with AdCommerce and then decide how much you’re willing to pay each time a buyer clicks on your ad. If you are one of the highest bidders for the keyword “computer”, your ad – including title, short description, and image - will show up on the search results pages generated when targeted buyers search for “computer”.

With AdCommerce, there is no up-front fee, and no minimum payment or deposit. And, you’re always in control: you decide what you’re willing to pay for each click and you set your maximum budget.

To learn more, please read our eBay AdCommerce information page.

Sincerely,

Andrea Stairs
