Hello.
Sometimes when I am in a seller’s booth and click on a listing, rather than getting the description of the listing the seller has done like our listings normally show, I get a picture of the item, an add to cart button, wish list, title, the price, a link for clicking on full description.
But then instead of reading the seller’s description when I scroll down, I get a populated list of similar items with some of those same items being what the seller is selling and some of them being sold by other sellers.
There are usually about 3 rows or close to that.
Specifically, the seller’s booth I was in today has no membership.
So have you all seen this from time to time? If so, do you think this is something Bonanza is testing out or has it been something that has existed for a few years now?
Thanks.
Sharon

For me to pin my friends items, I have to click on the description to get the share button.
Great ideal Bonanza. :-(

Sharon…Look what I found …similar to what happened to me, recently, however, there were 50 items showing, ALL were quilt patterns, my item was fabric, not a pattern PLUS, my item’s description was ’’hijacked’’ or not showing…however Tom above claims if you click on ‘’view full product details’’ you’d get to the Description. My complaint the other day was I thought this practice was rather absurd, and my questions where WHY would Bonanza DO this to either a buyer who might WANT to IMMEDIATELY See a Description of the item they clicked on and NOT see ‘’we know this is not similar to your item we just thought you’d get a kick out of it." type of absurd statement…methinks I try to think not only like a Seller, but like a Potential Buyer too…my other question was WHAT good does it do (for either buyer or seller or Bonz, itself) to hijack an item and toss in 20 to 50 OTHER items that Bonz states “is not the item or is not similar to your item, but we thought you’d get a kick out of it.” Really??? I ask…I contend this practice should be eliminated, because I can see this ticking off BUYERS and not just sellers. . .Okay, I let Go and let G_d now, Sharon! LOL! Always. . .want what IS Best for Bonanza, as well as buyers and sellers…Dee

Looks like it is a landing page, similar to what eBay uses. It is a setting that I think can be removed for gold or higher settings, like turning off the “Search Walmart” link in listings. I just don’t know which one actually turns it off.

Those kinds of pages are found from search results where you’re not looking for a particular seller, but instead are searching for those kinds of items. Bonanza displays one of the type of item and similar items below. However, if you click on “View full product details” that is just below the short description, you will then be taken to that particular seller’s listing page. Or, you can choose to pick a “similar” item from the landing page originally presented to you.

It does happen when in booth and open listings..not all the time, if there is not many items to compare, it doesn’t happen but when there are an abundance of other listings on bonz it does..
It did not happen with your LPS 1995 set and some other small vintage toys, but it did happen with this listing…took me awhile to notice the View full product details link…
This is a screen shop I took after clicking on the item from your booth page
