Storeslider Search
December 8, 2010
StoreSlider is the new, more chic, way to search on eBay.
StoreSlider utilizes thumbnail size pictures in order to give consumers a faster, more convenient search experience that is also visually appealing. The thumbnail includes valuable information like the name of the store, when the auction ends and the current bid.
I know not everyone is a “visual” person, but if you happen to be like me; pictures are a good thing.
EBay’s StoreSlider is creating a more realistic and less tedious shopping experience by allowing its consumers to do the same thing they would do if they found something they disliked at the mall; skip it and move on.
For the more traditional shoppers, eBay will still allow you to click on the picture and see the actual auction information where you identify the normal eBay spread and cast your bid.
It seems that eBay is really tapping into the consumer need to “grab and go” by creating StoreSlider. Interesting but this UX or user experience approach does little to change the underlying functionality of eBay search.
