    Footer underutilized?

    Posted on Aug 18, 2010 at 10:49 AM

    Hi Steven,

    No clue what the first reviewer was on about, if I went onto an ebay merchant's page and was looking for a specific hose, I'd want to see:

    • BIG IMAGES, so you know exactly what you're getting.
    • CHOICES, which you've done a great job with.
    • MERCHANT TRUST, don't know the rating of this particular merchant, but the quality statement says it all.

    The only suggestions I have from my side are:

    • Make the Product description stand out more (kit/includes). Maybe invert the colors, so the font is red and 2 px larger?
    • Bring up Lifetime Warranty to 1st/2nd place or even separate into it's own graphic?
    • Use the footer. Not sure how much leeway you have with ebay in terms of URL's, etc. but I'd definitely throw in a link to one pager with testimonials from buyers, nothing fancy. Maybe even a bit about the merchant himself/herself.

    Good job though, really like it!

    Cheers

    Noel

      Hi Noel, great point on the kit/includes. I've always had the thought in lists that you should leave a good selling point to the last line, as that's what users remember, but the point is valid. I'll probably create a graphic for it instead. Testimonial idea for the footer is good, I'll give that a go. I always find it's quite hard trying to persuade buyers on eBay as you need to work around their layout and rules. Great review cheers!

      Hi Noel,

      What do you think of the second picture? Updated it a bit after your review.

      Cheers,
