News:Search On Store Listing
eBay is rolling back a recently released initiative that displayed eBay Store items at the end of eBay.com main search results.
eBay said the initiative had unintended consequences.
Tuesday's announcement indicated that over the next couple of weeks, eBay would make search the way it had been, with up to 30 Store inventory listings appearing only when there are 30 or fewer Auction-Style or Fixed Price listings in a buyer's search results.
eBay said buyers had found searches were producing too many results and results overall were sometimes less relevant than they used to be. eBay also said Auction-Style and Fixed Price listings were harder to find for buyers, "so sellers of these items have unintentionally been put at a disadvantage."
eBay said it would discontinue the feature while it further tests and refines it.
