I think ebay's new approach is : Think of the store landing page as your marketing tool, like a store flyer in the newspaper or as the cover of a mail order catalog, and the "See All' as your full catalog. Not everyone wants to go through the entire catalog, and you can use the landing page to direct them to stuff you want to highlight, like stuff on sale, or a really great new addition to your inventory, etc.
So, basically, the old store landing page is now the catalog for everything in your store (or it is the store itself) and the new store landing page is more about marketing.
As with most changes ebay makes, it will take a while for sellers and buyers to get used to it (I suspect buyers will adapt pretty quickly)
@my-cottage-books-and-antiques yeah...don't like it... and that's not what most sellers agreed to pay for. I need to look more into the advertising banners ...how the actually work/display on the store etc... but all in all, this is horrible idea...like most ebay ideas, but this is really bad... when do I get refund?
@nuclearomen the banner basically just shows a picture and some text with a button that then directs to the category or single listing of your choice.
Obviously if you are using it for real, you'd come up with a better title and description - that was just to test. 😉 It displays above "all items" and below your store banner/info.
In the fall update they said you could use the banner to "to grab buyers’ attention and showcase products, sales, or promotions" so I was a little disappointed you can't specifically choose to feature items that are part of a markdown sale or coupon promotion, for example.
Hopefully that's something they will add in the future, but in the mean time the workaround would probably be to create a new store category for "on sale" items you want to feature and direct the banner to that category.

@valueaddedresource so are you saying(showing) that if use a adverising banner that it will overwrite/replace your store banner (looks that way)??? What a crud deal/idea... this whole thing IMO sticks...seriously considering calling ebay about refund, I didn't agree to pay for any this nonsense.

@nuclearomen no - sorry for any confusion! I'm saying it appears under the store banner. Hang on, I'll try to get a screenshot that shows it all, but there's a lot of scrolling. lol

@nuclearomen see if this gives a better idea. It displays between the store info and the first row of items.
