When I click on an item in a search result on ebay, as far back as I can recall until a few days ago, the link would turn purple and stay that way, even if I looked at the same search result in a new session. I liked this because I could go back to a particular search and easily see which items I'd previously viewed and which ones I hadn't. The purple links would persist if I closed my browser and then opened it up again later to look at the same search result.
Now if I click on an item, the link will turn purple, but if I close the tab and search again, it no longer remembers which items I've already viewed.
Maybe it's something local to me, but I tried it on 2 different browsers and the same thing happened. Please bring back persistent memory of pages that have been visited. The new way makes it harder for customers to sift through results to find hard-to-find products because it's no longer easy to tell what you've looked at already.
