eBay's new "Item Page"..

imjustme · 08-18-2008, 01:23 PM

As we have probably all seen by now, eBay is re-designing the "item page", the page that displays our products. I'm sure some of you have already seen it pop up every now and then? I'll attach a screenshot I found on a blog below, but first I'd like to share some concerns I have about this new design.

It doesn't show if you have an eBay store or not.
It doesn't show what countries you ship to. Great, yet even more buyers in countries I don't ship to.
The "report item" link is at the very top, making it even easier for any competitor that wants to sabotage your listings. Let the battles begin!
It doesn't show what country the seller is registered in.

Anyone else found something annoying?

It's not as bad as their new search or "my ebay" pages. And at least on this if you have cookies and javascript disabled you can opt out of it, though it sometimes takes multiple clicks to do so.

The new search results are awful. I can't pinpoint it, but I think it's too much white space for my eyes.

it is horrible and the layout is about 3/4's of the original width of the page when viewing which condenses your description and it just doesn't look good and from what I seen the pictures are only at the bottom of the listing you can't put them on the top either.

Hey, it's ebay . . . they're not happy till you're unhappy!

Maybe this is all part of why shop inventory listings will be so cheap - because the listing doesn't actually show you've got a shop?
