You can customise your search and browse results pages to sort and display search results to fit your needs. For example, you can change your display settings so that search results are sorted by time left for a listing. You can save these settings so you don’t have to re-set them every time you sign in to eBay.

To customise your results page:

To restore the default (original) display settings:

• Click the Customise view link.

• Click the Restore defaults link.

• Click the Apply Changes button.

Search display options

Here are some ways you can change the look of your search results page.

Under the Formatting section:

• Available columns: A list of columns you don’t want to see. For example, if you don’t want to see “Time” in your search results, move that option to the Available columns box.

• Columns to display: Columns you want to display on the results pages and the order you want them in. For example, if you want to show "P&P costs", move that option to the "Columns to display" box.

• Use the up and down arrows to change the order of the options.

• Show results in: Select an option for your default view. Select List view to see more listings, Picture Gallery to view items at a glance.

• Show time in: Select the Time left format or Date format to view time remaining on an item.

• Items per page: Select number of items you want displayed on a search results page.
