new page opens when I click on a listing

Ok, I'll start right at the beginning. I open Ebay, then type an item in to the search option. When I get to the page listing the items I click on one of the listings. Instead of opening the item's detail in the same page, a new page (tab) opens with the items details.

Are you using a mobile device? It sounds like eBay links may be opening in the eBay app instead of your browser.

If browser links are opening in the eBay app, and you do not want them to do that:

If you have an Android device (aside from a Chromebook), then using the device manager, under Settings: Apps: eBay: Open by default -- there is a setting called "Open supported links" holding that down gives three choices: "Open in this app" "Ask every time" and "Don't open in this app". Choose "Don't open in this app". Changing that setting prevented browser links from opening up in the app automatically for me.

If you have a Chromebook, open Chromebook Settings, scroll down to Google Play Store and select it. Select "Manage Android Preferences". From there the above instructions should work -- go to Apps: eBay: Open by default: Open supported links: "Don't open in this app". Then back out of the settings and you should be all set. Or else, open Chromebook Settings, and select Apps. Select "Manage your Apps". From there go to eBay: More Settings: Advanced: Open by default: Open supported links: "Don't open in this app".

If you have an iOS device, try holding down the link -- you should see some options about how the link is opened that should be remembered for the next time you open such a link.
