Today, eBay launched “Garden by eBay,” a brand-new area that lets you try out new features we’re exploring and tell us what you think.
You’ll be able to choose the features you want to try and use them in real-life eBay transactions—then you can give your feedback directly to the teams working on these projects.
There are already two cool things in the garden for you to try:
- A new way to find items. You can see, side-by-side, items you can bid on or buy right away. Plus a better way to refine your search results.
- A Diamond Ring Designer. You can design the perfect diamond ring—on eBay.
To try out these features (and others, as we add them), go to the Garden by eBay, opt in, and get started!
Sincerely,
Josh Ramirez
