Ebay features again

I have noticed on ebay they have put the 'featured' section back on some sections.
A few years ago, you had to go through a few pages before you got to the items ending within a few minutes to get the real bargains. Businesses were paying a bit extra for the option to have their items 'featured' which were listed before everyone elses auction items and people were not getting a lot for their sales. I once went through pages (around 40) and then the times started all over again with a lot more items, mostly used. Ebay had a lot of complaints about it and they scrapped the idea so sellers had a fair chance of selling. It seems now, they are doing it again. Although there are not a lot of items featured, it is still a half page later when the 'proper' auctions are found.

So if you search for say "Campagnolo" and then select "ending first" from the pull down menu, you have to trudge through pages of listings before getting to the listings that are ending soonest?

If so that is a pain. Here in the U.S. it still gives you the listings you ask for...

No. When the settings are at 'itens ending soonest'. Normal ebay settings.
