    Default Change opening page.

    On the opening page (the one you get if you click on "Start shopping on eBid" you are offered a choice of Popular, Closing, New, Buddy, and Sold listings. Today, the New listings were all of listings which had no thumbnail pictures.
    I think this creates a very bad impression of eBid for potential buyers.
    I suggest that listings which do not have thumbnail pictures should be excluded from the opening page.

    I think all the listings shown should be mine

    Also agree. I would go further and suggest that listings without thumbnails should come after those with in search and browse results.

    I have to agree with everyone else, a whole page with no thumbnails looks awful and not professional at all.
    I think, those that are paying for their thumbnail view, should come first before the non-thumbnail views.

    @ 2% FVF for a thumbnail is pretty darn cheap and affordable for any seller.

    Totally agree! I think that most people look at pictures first and if they like what they see, they will go to the listing. Since "a picture says 1,000 words" it is probably the most important part of every listing.

    Just discovered that I already suggested this back in 2009...

    So not much hope of the suggestion being taken up.

    Sad it was made known in 2009 and for years this has been happening. It is not a good look.
