eBay announced it will test a new search results page later this month. The new design shows more information for each listing than current pages and has a new look-and-feel to help buyers make decisions about clicking on listings. The space allotted to each listing will be bigger, and eBay will call out key information, including displaying price information in a larger size and a new color. eBay will also including an "Add to Watch list" link on each item, formerly only available on the view item page.

Most listing rows on the new page will also have a link called "See quick details." When a buyer clicks this link, or hovers over it with their mouse, they'll see a new section pop up that contains key information such as the shipping & handling charges and accepted payment methods.

eBay said later this month, a small percentage of buyers will start seeing the new search results pages. An even smaller number of buyers will also see the new design on eBay Motors.

The new design is shown on the information page (http://pages.ebay.com/buyandsell/find-it/index.html), and eBay will host an online workshop on August 24 at noon PT to review the new designs.

Within hours of the announcement, members had posted feedback a thread on the Search discussion board (http://forums.ebay.com/db1/thread.jspa?threadID=1000338138).
