Ebids Home Page Should be more Buyer Oriented

[resalemadness]

When a buyer enters the Ebid home page, there should be 3 things the buyer sees right away:
1) The excitement of seeing something they want to buy.
2) An extremely simple easy to find navigation links to the categories the buyer is interested in.
3) Buyer confidence in doing business with a reliable source.

- The Ebid home page requires a buyer to select their country first, and should go directly to categories. Unless there is some legal reason for the countries to be separated, the entire website should be one international community, where all auctions are mixed, if technically possible, and various countries or currencies displayed all together.

- The Ebid home page should go directly to easy find links to every category of the left, and should have the subcategories on the left margin, with listings on the right with gallery photos on every listing.

- Any seller links should be very teeny on the home page. If Ebid is a good selling venue the seller will find it.
As I said in another thread, sellers should be required to pay up front fees for listing, as the excitement of the auction venue is being ruined with poor quality products which are listed for free.

- There should be a gallery photo on every listing, and the entire site should be very pictorial, and display the most unusual items possible, thus creating excitement for the buyer.

- The Ebid home page should separate iteself from the style of other websites, by showing products that are unique in some way from other websites. For instance, since Ebid has a large UK based seller community, then products that are uniqiue to the European market should be featured on the home page to the rest of the world.
Ebid should have a featured seller area on the lower portion of the webpage, where Ebid themselves changes the featured sellers of the day, every day.

- Great sellers need Ebid to do the job of providing a good auction venue, and are willing to pay reasonable sellers fees for this service.

Good question.

Hum. How about you buy the site from da boyz and turn it into what you think it should be? (Too many SHOULDs in there for me.....it's all a matter of opinion) But good luck when you decide to start listing and selling! I'm looking forward to seeing more nice antiques here.
