Brand new in Fashion
We’ve just added the much-anticipated brand selector to the sidebar in the Clothing & Fashion category, so you can search by your favourite fashion brands.
There are hundreds of brands to choose from, and you can select and search for one or multiple brands at the same time.
You can now hone in on that favourite item with laser-like precision by using all the attributes that are important to you, including colour, size, style, brand, price and keyword. More...
Category change: Can you smell something?
The 'Category Change' team has been busy again, this time adding a heap of new fragrance categories to help you keep smelling your best.
We’ve added 27 new categories across both men’s and women’s fragrances, with many more popular brands now available.
Check out the spreadsheet for more sweet-smelling details on what we've done.
Category change: iPads on the move
A quick update from us this morning - we've just moved a range of iPad sub-categories with the goal of making them easier to find.
iPads and their related accessories (cases, components, docks, pens and more!) now all sit with the rest of the Tablets & E-book readers.
Check out the spreadsheet for more detail on what we've done.
Auctions not closing earlier tonight
Earlier tonight we experienced an issue on the site which resulted in some auctions taking longer than normal to close. We’re past the worst of it and auctions are now closing as expected with a small backlog to catch up on.
We’ll be nutting out the main cause of this during the night and we're sorry if this has caused frustration for any of you.
