In July we announced that as of October 1 we are retiring certain listing features and making modifications to others in order to emphasize the most relevant results in eBay search.   Before we roll a significant upgrade to our search engine on October 1, we need to test its performance with live buyer traffic. To get the most accurate readings, Featured First, Featured Plus, Highlight, Border, and Gift Icon on eBay US (www.ebay.com) are being turned off as part of this final testing phase. This test will impact no more than 20% of the buyer traffic who otherwise would have seen search results that displayed these features. The test will conclude around September 19.   Sellers who’ve purchased these features for listings that are live during this test will receive credit for 20% of the feature fees paid that is prorated for the number of days these listings overlap with the test. If you purchased Gift Icon, Border, Highlight, Featured Plus, or Featured First on a listing that overlaps with the test you can expect to see this credit on your October invoice.   Get more details on the changes to features launching October 1.
