Confused by search?

When I did a search for Balenciaga city bag clicking on the first 3 items don’t go to any sellers item. When you hold your cursor over the item photo a pop-up shows above it with photos of more bags that also don’t go anywhere. The page also keeps showing loading squares above the items and then there is a big blank gray area below the top 4 items I must be stupid, can someone tell me what all this means?

Yes, that is what I was wondering about, thanks for the response. This is way too confusing, read the blog and I still don’t understand it.

also looks very similar to google’s new search too…click on an item that has several options…it does not take you to the item..just the options

See this Bonanza blog here [URL removed]

What you are seeing once clicking on one of those photos that has the blue thingy in the right bottom corner and the gold stars is a populated list of what I think are more closely related Balenciaga listings to the image you clicked on. The blog should explain it.

If you want to close out that populated list, go back to the photo you originally clicked on and click the word Close right up above the photo. It’s in real tiny blue font, easy to miss.

I’m pretty sure this is what you are asking about.

It doesn’t appear to be working properly. Sometimes additional items will show and sometimes just the gray box appears. I also notice that some items in the catalog are already sold and the amount of items seems to be getting smaller. I think it is way to confusing and doesn’t show enough items. It also doesn’t eliminate items as the blog suggests. If you look up the example of candles, you still get candle holders even though they say you shouldn’t get the holders only the candles.

You are right, it is very confusing.
