Comments on: eBay.com introduces new Item Page http://ebayinkblog.com/2009/05/11/ebaycom-introduces-new-item-page/ an inside look at the wide world of eBay, Inc.

The worsening of ebay is great this time cause it's all being done in a more subtle way. Only Democracies should sell in and to American's. Period.

(The must stupid and unconstitutional are companies that don't accept cash...that's illegal. Stop those corporations and credit card connected companies now!) Tell Obama. While there is time.

We were told by eBay that the final version of the page would have the About Me icon. However, despite the assurances from eBay I was skeptical at the time. And, given eBay's recent comments in the last Town Hall about the About Me page, I have concerns that the About Me page is going away.... quietly, of course, and without any advance notice from eBay.

I do not like them on Target or Walmart either. Tabs add another click between the item and information essential to taking the step to checkout. This translates to another opportunity to abandon the process and avoid conversion. As a buyer/browser I do not like the tabs. I do not like them on Target or Walmart either.

Still no store listing frame despite its inclusion on the page Richard linked to introducing the page: http://pages.ebay.com/sell/newitempage/index.html Related items and services is an empty tab for me, which scares me too--will that tab fill with my own related items, items belonging to other sellers, or even worse, third party advertisers. There's too much above the fold and not enough below it. I still don't understand why eBay's fixing something that was never broken here. Especially when the "fix" feels like a break.

There’s too much above the fold and not enough below it.

I still don’t understand why eBay’s fixing something that was never broken here. Especially when the “fix” feels like a break.

I had to dig through a lot of porn invitations to approve your comment (it should now show up above). Again, apologies that your comment didn't go up immediately. Now that your first one has been approved, your comments will go up without any fear of being held up.

I'll go back in the filter queue to see if your comment is still there. Otherwise, please feel free to comment here on Ink. I believe I have been one of the most open corporate blogs out there since launch when it comes to comments. My rule of thumb is that if I can read your comment out loud to my oldest daughter, and it doesn't contain hate speech or name calling, then it will go up. Plain and simple. Sorry for any perceived censorship. -RBH Tony,

You you deleted the comment. The coment was by "Concert Posters" and it laid out the critical reasons why the enay item is a failure. The comment was civil but critical and it did not contain profanity. The fact that you censor substantial dissenting opinions on your blog proves that you do not engage in an open debate about ebay. You blog is nothing more than a regurgiation of the coprporate PR line and you have lost all credibility with me. I will blog and comment about this on as many forums as I can. I dare you to respond.

I absolutely hate it. No offense...I find it confusing and overwhelming. I really hope they don't stick with this. I prefer when things are just right there...such as end listing...send to online auction, etc. I think its attractive, I just think it needs to be a little more user friendly. I don't like having to search for what I'm trying to accomplish. Hi there, I’m a powerseller on ebay. I absolutely hate it. No offense…I find it confusing and overwhelming.
