It's called the Feed and there's lots to scroll through so you can get sucked into a browsing black hole. You can also create a personalized feed with your interest. eBay's new look is rolling out over the next few months, but you could activate it now by going to ebay.com/feed. Search results, product page design and personal profiles also got a boost. eBay shoppers in San Francisco can also try out eBay now.
