First page / landing page is a little stark ... kind of bare there with just the search bar and some buttons ... do you have some graphics or general info that you could put there ... maybe a WELCOME ! would be better than nothing.
Looked at the items you currently have listed and i would suggest that you seriously try to limit the number of duplicate items ... the diamonds and the webhosting ... whew ... that dominates the entire site.
I didn't register ... so I don't know about ease of listing ... but the looks of the site once you get past the first page, that is ... are pretty good ... right up there with the best
I'd say that the charges are good except for the $20 up front (if I don't plan to use any of the for fee features, why would I want to give you $20?) ... Also, I'd recommend you take out the 10 cent gallery fee.
You don't have enough listings or traffic to be charging folks to have the pics in the gallery.
Also ... in the fee section that I copied in below ... you refer to your site once as "ebidmax" ... was that an old name ? Might want to edit that.
And in one place is says the additional listing options are free ... and then you go down a couple lines and it lists the charges ...
Just my thoughts .... the site itself is lovely.
====================
There are no charges in browsing, viewing, making offers, or listing items. The only charges that are made are any of the auction enhancements a seller can choose to receive. All sellers are required to deposit $20.00 in their accounts before listing items. All your auction enhancement fees will be deducted from your account balance.

Ditto to granny's post...Might want to spruce up the main page a bit once you get going...
First time I've ever seen a "love" chat forum on an auction site LOL
Good luck and thank you for your post!!

It appears that the wiigle retail site is the primary focus ... with auctions as a sideline, perhaps to draw some traffic ... which isn't a bad thing ... it's a good thing to establish symbiotic relationships.
Take a lesson, though, from Overstock.
Don't sacrifice one for the other. Don't abuse one for the other. |
