A very little thing but...

On completing a BuyNow purchase, a screen with the following is presented:



Why 'Attempt'? It reads as if eBid had high expectations that I would have problems making the purchase. Surely 'BuyNow Successful' is sufficient and more positive.

Good work as usual, those little things add up and are easily fixed.

Little things seem to jar my eyes - the big things I am oblivious to.

I still hate the use of BuyNow in screens intended for buyers, it should only appear on seller targeted screens. For buyers, Purchase would be a better word.

Don't you think that the word "purchase" is a little olde fashioned and maybe "English"

I mean when was the last time someone told you they were going down town to purchase something ?

Buy Now is great! simple words and everyone knows what it means.

Buy Now is great! simple words and everyone knows what it means.

But it isn't Buy Now, it's BuyNow - which isn't even a word.

While you can list an item in BuyNow form, you cannot BuyNow an item. That is why I say BuyNow should be restricted to seller specific screens. Pure buyers on the site, more so new users, will likely have no idea what BuyNow is.

I actually thought you felt the same

Astral - I 'm with you, I see what you mean.

I think anything would be better than BuyNow

Though it is a lady's prerogative to change her mind.
