Calling ALL eBidders - what improvements would you like to see?

[bykimbo]

Okey dokey, the initial query on the KT got more fors than againsts, so I'm going for it. A new poll to show forum-users' priorities for changes to the site will be constructed.

First step is: give me all your ideas, suggestions, comments on ways you'd like to see the site changed, developed, whatevered. I'll collate those into a poll as the next step, so it's a free-for-all discussion first. If there are more than twenty separate ideas, I'll select those that seem to be more popular (or practical!) for the final list.

Right... go for it! What do you want to see on the poll, and ultimately on the site?

Old smilies back (but I am not holding my breath on that happening)
being able to put the title into to languages which obviously means more space

Timeframe for sellers to log into ebid or their stores/listings will be closed until they log in again.

[HerMajesty]

Ability to leave feedback for each auction, regardless of whether it's a 'dutch' auction, multiple, or whatever.
Get views accurate.
Shorten trek to pay via paypal - sometimes it takes 4-5 clicks/page changes to get to paid.

as well as the above... moneybooker being intergrated into ebid

Car Stickers instead of T Shirts.

[Juliebabe25]

Sorry, but no car stickers, good idea, but they soon fade and look terrible.
Make sure people get their T shirt.

Timeframe for sellers to log into ebid or their stores/listings will be closed until they log in again.
Yes, but send an email reminder.

Add watchers to the views (and make sure views are accurate). This would inspire sellers, and make them think something is happening on ebid. Remove the large black crosses (is it selling ?)

Don't let buyers see the number of views (if they see a large number of views, they may think nothing is selling)

Apppoint a Public Relations person to do some marketing (even casual like the newsletter editor)

Let buyers buy without having to register (many people don't like or cant be bothered to join a site)

There was a suggestion about improving the wording for the dark glasses (which gives newbies a bad feel)

[crafters_corner]

Picture editing facility.

Feedback to leave, listed in order of purchase - any order instead of the current random list.

Please and thank you

All of the above and dare I say it ..... having another go at showing a bids column .... well it is a lot busier now than when they last tried it ! I've got three items with bids on sitting on my page right at this moment as well as the YDC stuff so it has to be worth another shot !
