Thumbnail Size--Has it increased on Promoted Items on the Listing Page?
Maybe I just haven't been paying much attention, but when I look at a listing/view item page, I'm seeing a lot of promoted listings (as usual) but ...has ebay increased the thumbnail size of the PLS? (On a PC, I'm not looking at a phone).
Of course, this could be another of ebay's never ending tests, and so not everyone might be seeing this.
Just wondering what others are seeing?

·2 years ago@my-cottage-books-and-antiques not sure if this is what you're talking about but I noticed starting earlier this week that some of the PL sections have varying sizing and spacing.
Maybe they are testing to see if that gets more engagement - possibly more eye catching/less likely to just be scrolled past than the uniform blocks of all the same size/shape?

·2 years agoAs a buyer, the varied thumbnail size down at the bottom (below seller description/info) is preferable.
Now if we could just get eBay to remove other sellers listings from above our descriptions ...

OP2 years ago@valueaddedresource Yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to. And I agree with @wastingtime101 , I think this is preferable for buyers. As you say, it is more eye-catching and I think buyers are more likely to engage with this than with thumbnails of uniform size. These PLS are here to stay, we know they are not going away, so I see this as a plus....if we're stuck with them, might as well make them more effective.
Of course, I also agree with @wastingtime101 : it would be nice if ebay would keep its promise and remove the PLS which are breaking up the listing at the description. Or at least tell us flat out that they changed their mind, and that simply isn't going to happen.
