Customizing Your Results Page

You can customize your search and browse results to display just the information you want to see, both in List view and in Picture Gallery view. Using the Customize Display feature will enable you to display your results with the information you want every time you visit eBay and log in. 

To customize your results page:
  1. Search or browse for an item.

  2. From your search or browse results, click the “Customize Display” link located above the list of items.

  3. Select the options you'd like to display. For example, if you want to show "Seller feedback," click the "Seller feedback" check box.

  4. Click the Apply Changes button. This allows you to see your selected preferences every time you log in.

To restore eBay's default (original) display settings:

  1. Click the ""Customize Display" link.

  2. Click the "Restore Defaults" link.

  3. Click the Apply Changes button.

You can customize the following display results:

  • Picture Size : Change the picture size by using the pull-down menu next to the picture.

  • Seller feedback: Show the seller's feedback rating.

  • Item number: Display the eBay item number. 

  • Condition: See the seller's assessment of an item's condition (only available on some eBay sites). 

  • Seller User ID: See the Seller's eBay user ID for each item.

  • Store name: See the seller’s Store Name (if applicable). Clicking the Store Name link will take you to that store. 

  • "See quick details" link: Click or mouse over this link to "see quick details".

  • Item location: Display the item's location. You can show the item's distance from you, as well as show the state/region and/or country/region of the item's location.

  • PayPal icon: Display whether the seller accepts payment through PayPal for this listing.

  • "Watch this item": Display "Watch this item" link on your results pages. (This allows you to add an item to your Watch List or Guest Watch List.)

  • Seller Type: See whether a seller is a business or an individual (only available on some eBay sites).

    Note: Certain actions will cause a column to temporarily appear even if you chose to hide the column. For example, if you sort your items list by Distance, the Distance column will automatically appear for the duration of the sort even if it is not one of the columns you chose to display.

  • Price: Display price information and bid count for the item.

  • Shipping cost: Show the cost of shipping the item to your location (you may have to log in to to auto-calculate shipping costs).

  • Time and date format: Show the time and date when an item's availability for bidding or buying closes.

    Note: This option does not apply if the Time area is already displaying the time a listing started.

  • Comparison check boxes: Show or hide the check boxes for comparing items. Comparison check boxes appear only in List view.

  • Convert prices to US dollars ($): Select whether to showprices and shipping costs in an item's listed currency or to convert all prices into US $.

  • Number of results: Choose the number of results you want to see on each page.

  • Advanced options: Show results in a particular sort order: Sort your results by time, price, distance, or country/region (options vary by eBay site).


    Some customization settings, like "Advanced options" and "Show items in US dollars ($)" are shared. This means that changing a setting in either List view or Picture Gallery view will affect both views.
