They now have a "sold listings" link - useful when you want to get a good estimate on an item. Until now I had to look in the "completed listings" and sort the green prices from the red.

Is that an enhancement over the "Completed Listings" section, where you can see both what sold and what didn't sell? I go to that one all the time.

It is. And a welcome improvement. A tab on the search results for sold items, and completed items. But I encountered a glitch with Windows asking for my ID and password and stating it was asking in an insecure manner, so I closed the page.

Where do you find this link? I don't see it.

Search eBay for something, then in the results page, search the page (ctrl+F) for "sold listings", you will see it.

Nope. Definitely not there for me, and I'm signed in. Maybe it's a beta, or being gradually rolled out.

For me in any search results are tabs on top of the results

Search for thunderbird bass. sold and completed like to those results:

94active listings | sold listings | completed listings

The whole site has a new look to it. The ebay app for android was updated and then recalled this week too.

I have none of that, signed in or out, in either browser. No new look, either. Must be a beta.

There's another cool feature - a price slider, from the lowest price to the highest found for this search. Adjusting it when looking, for example, for a certain bass, leaves out the posters, straps, parts etc., and you get only the basses. Very convenient.

Many things are easier to find out with these features. For example I search for Ricken* bass, adjust the slider to $600-$1,100 and go bargain hunting. Or I can do the same in the "sold listings" and see what I have lost when I snost (no way to make this past tense, right? ;D)

Looks like a big improvement. I hope they make it available to everyone soon. I definitely don't have those features available now.

Interesting... can't find them as a feature in the UK yet...
