By default, the order listings appear in the search results is determined by your location and our promoted advertising option. Our technology estimates your location and displays the results that are closest to you starting with promoted listings, then followed by basic listings.
For any certain geography that's entered and filters that are applied, promoted listings within that geography and filter criteria will be displayed first, followed by basic listings within that geography and filter criteria. If sorting is applied, it takes precedence and the listings will be displayed in an order according to the particular sorting that's been applied.
