If this was in an update then I completely missed it ???
This is about Google.com/.co.uk (no comments about GS please - that is being discussed on other threads!)
The Google search engine is full of dead ends and always has been for all sites, not just eBid - keyword searching there often brings up an old finished listing that has since been re-listed. Depending on your log-in status the closed listing either provided no info on the re-listed item number or did provide a new item number that could hardly be seen because the type was too small.
So I was going to come up with a suggestion to overcome it...... no need - they have already done it (and it is much better than I would have suggested)!
So this is what happens...
Buyer searches using keywords - Google brings up an eBid listing for them, but it is an old one which has since been re-listed under a different listing number. When they click on the old eBid item it opens with the listing darkened into the background and up pops a very clear message with the details of the new listing.
Very impressed with that - good job done!
(although could you guys make the 'view the new listing' slightly bigger compared to the rest and in bold please )
