We wanted to let you know that we will be testing some changes to Finding pages over the next few weeks. These tests are designed to make it easier for buyers to find items on eBay.co.uk.
In the week beginning 30th July, 2% of users will be shown new search and listing pages. We have redesigned the layouts, and improved how search works to return more items for each search and also to return only relevant items.
As a simple example, if a buyer in the test searches for "red size 12 shoes", instead of looking just for listings with the words "red", "size", "12", and "shoes" in the item title the search engine will find all the items in the shoe category that are size 12 and in the colour red.
The buyer should see more relevant items, and will also see a new way to narrow their search results according to important details such as size, colour, and type.
The tests should be completed by the beginning of September.
Regards,
The eBay.co.uk Team
