Tamebay abroad: Chris is in NYC with eBay

No primary category set
10 Oct 2012
by Dan Wilson

Bromance: Devin Wenig and Tamebay's Chris Dawson
Dawson and Wenig: shooting the breeze.
Doubtless many of you will have seen Chris’s post earlier about all the interesting and significant updates that eBay has come out with today. There’s more to report, more to analyse, and we will be writing about everything new we can find out for all you Tamebay readers, over the next few days.

Be aware. The announcements made today are the biggest news eBay has come up with for years and it will change how you trade.

What might not have been clear is that Chris has jetted across the Atlantic this week and is getting the skinny from eBay executives face-to-face. He’s in the Big Apple and has been asking questions and hearing first hand from eBay. He’s getting to grips with what all the “new eBay” chat is all about.

So watch this space for the inside scoop.

And in case you wanted proof. See above Chris earlier today, in a clinch, with Devin Wenig, the President of eBay Marketplaces.

Now I think about it, Devin Wenig is also a pretty good hand in Scrabble. And also an anagram of “End Viewing”… but I digress.

    I await any updates with interest, though I have found almost all eBay changes to be favourable in the long run, there can be initial problems with implementing and adapting to them, so the earlier the warning the better

    Do I need to stock up on Gin Dan?

    Noticing some nice updates to item pages this morning.

    Free P&P logo placed on the image and a zoom feature. So far, so good.

    Re. Photo, does that spell PAY in the background?

    Any redesigning by eBay is highly welcomed. I am super excited about the change! I wish the eBay sellers would find it easier to use. eBay is going places, and going in the right direction.

    Search result picture is now way too big and impossible to reduce size using the customize function. Leaves lots of white space between each listing in the results and only 4 listings showing on the monitor which increases the scrolling required considerably if you show 50 listings per page.

    I am used to showing 200 per page as I like to browse quickly! Impossible in future.

    And don’t tell me to use gallery view as this is even more painful on the eyes as you have to scan left to right as well as diagonally and it is like looking at a chess board. Look at it for more than 30 seconds and you start to see spots before your eyes.

    Ebay simply have no understanding of the ergonomics of the human being and how it functions best.

    Very few buyers will now bother to go further than the first screen as all the white space is just too painful on the eyes and the massive increase in scrolling required is too painful on the wrists.

    If your listing is not on the home page of search you are now doomed!

    If mobile is the way forward then I don’t understand this at all.

    If this is progress can we have our old ebay back please for those of us who like it simple (for buying and selling) and who are not interested in style change for the sake of change and who are not interested in obtaining “friends” in cyber space.

    Leave fashion to the fashionistas. Don’t roll it out and impose this across the whole of ebay. In a lot of catagories it is simply not appropriate.

    Some of the stuff coming sounds positive, a 2 click check out, linking to FB, embedding youtube videos in your eBay profile etc

    I’m not that interested in the eBay stuff tell us about New York Chris. What have you been eating. What Bars? Have they really got rid of all the graffiti on the subway trains?
