We wanted to let you know that we have introduced a “Price + P&P Sort” search option.

We’re doing this as part of our ongoing efforts against excessive postage and packaging (P&P) charges that some sellers impose in their listings. The feature will help buyers take into account P&P costs when looking for items in search results.

The two new sort options are: “Price + P&P: Lowest First” and “Price + P&P: Highest First”. These are new search options that sort search results according to the total cost of the item, including postage and packaging charges.

We advise sellers to include at least one valid P&P option in listings to prepare for the feature. Items that don’t specify P&P information using the options available will be displayed lower in eBay search results.

An example of how this new sort option will work:
If a buyer chooses the “Price + P&P: Lowest First” sort option, items will appear in the order of lowest total cost (for items where P&P was properly specified), followed by items for which P&P was not specified (sorted by price only).

This will help buyers find the overall cost of items more easily.

We appreciate your continuing support in helping to keep eBay a great place to buy and sell.

Regards,

The eBay Team
