katie@ebay thankyou for the reply. I am just struggling to imagine what on earth the purpose is of a test to hide everything a buyer needs to see. This has been going on for weeks and is getting worse as ebay gradually hide more and more of the listing.

Is there any end in sight? Surely it can't go on much longer? What exactly is it that they are hoping to find out? Surely they don't need to run a test to establish that if you can't see what's for sale you're less likely to buy and more likely to return if you do? Most buyers and sellers could tell ebay that in an instant and bypass the need for ebay to wreck our listings.
