THAT'S IT!
No dessert for you tonight!
My personal opinion is that gallery view is better for the default view, as it looks more like an auction site, showing bids etc. However, I really like the showroom view for my shops, and wonder if there is a way that each seller can set which format his/her shops will be viewed by visitors. This option works well on another venue that I use.

Yes - we all have our opinions and we all make suggestions. I certainly hope that anything I offer or query is seen as contributing to making the site work well. I also mention frequently how pleased I am to be part of eBid!! I am relatively new here (and perhaps it has always been the case) but it seems recently that there are a few forum users (who shall remain nameless here!) who only ever contribute negative comments and nothing else.
We are lucky that we have a management team who care what we think - gazza has said so several times in this thread already! Can't begin to tell you how different that is from where I used to work....! So let's express our thoughts politely and without aggression.
So far I like the showroom and have said so - this is a trial run after all.

It seems to me, having read the thread, that there is a consensus emerging for the default to be gallery but the option to be there for stores to be set to appear as showroom.
This seems entirely sensible to me as some items will display far better in showroom view, art is an example, others will display far better in gallery view.
I may well use showroom for my 0ctavias0riginals but stick to the gallery for my other stores.
I reckon it would be beneficial for my cards and artwork to be shown in the larger size as the default but not my regular auction items. I also reckon that the option being available to store owners would provide more variety visually on the site and could well be a real bonus to users.
I don't think that showroom would be desirable as the default for searches in most cases for normal auctions where it's very important that bids show clearly in order to fire the aspirations of potential new owners of collectables etc.
