Thread: Attributes

  1. #1

    Default Attributes

    It would be very helpful to list an item with all its different attributes. I sell hats and have to list each size seperately rather than all the sizes and their quantities under one listing.

    Do you mean sub-categories?

    I have the same problem with doors, the only way to do it is by putting the size in the title, I admit it looks awful if anyone scrolls through my listings as due to the piks they all look the same, peeps regularly buy the wrong size, just looking at the cheapest instead of what they need.

    I just had a quick look at your auctions. I noticed my eyes were going everywhere to spot the sizes.

    May I suggest you place the sizes at the end of the title?
    For example:


    Stable Door inward opening-v groove panel 78 x 30 inch

    Framed ledge and brace door pine, free postage 24x78
    (this one you state free postage but shows 15.00 in the shipping column)

    Pair driveway Gates -chevron Softwood. NEW 10ft x 3ft

    Pair driveway Gates -chevron Softwood. NEW 10ft x 4ft

    Pair driveway Gates -chevron Softwood. NEW 8ft x 4ft

    Pair driveway Gates -chevron design Softwood. NEW 8ft

    See what I mean?

    Like search for sz 8 1/2 shoes. Some put it in title, some in description. Some not. If sub cats have 8 1/2, chances are seller put the shoes there. But not ever sure all the 8 1/2 shoes are viewed.

    Worse with no sub cats, like doors. Result is as you describe. Not sure what solution is. More sub cats?

    yes, I must admit if I am buying something to which size is relevant, I am more attracted to listings that show the size in the title.

    It appears I am being misunderstood. What I would like to see is a drop down button which shows all the sizes, and their quantity, available of the item listed. That way you have one listing rather than a listing for each individual size.
