Blair Talks About My eBay

I hope you saw my previous blog post with some of the details about the new My eBay my team is working on. A few days ago I sat down with the Chatter team to give a quick update and some more information about the upcoming changes - check out the video to learn more!

The New My eBay

Hi...my name is Blair and I’m a Product Manager here at eBay (maybe you saw my picture on my recent announcement about improvements to Favorite Searches). My main focus is My eBay, and I, along with a fabulous team, have been working on some new designs for this important tool.

We're still well in the development stages, but because My eBay is such a big part of most members' day-to-day activities, we're planning on sharing a few ideas and concepts with you along the way, both to let you see what we have in mind, and to get your feedback. Our overall goal is to improve your eBay experience by simplifying the My eBay views and tasks and making it easier to shop on eBay. I'll be popping onto the blog occasionally to give updates, so be sure to check back.

In terms of timing, we’re aiming to have a new version of My eBay ready for a beta-type test in the next couple of months, more information to come as we get closer to the date.

Below are a few links to screenshots of our designs, along with a brief explanation of what's new on the page. I've also set up a thread on the Chatter Blog discussion board for you to leave your feedback.

I look forward to hearing your feedback, comments and questions - and I'll be back out here again soon!

NOTE: All the content and graphics are directional in nature - essentially, these are far from being finalized. We expect them to evolve substantially over time.

My eBay Today (possible new name for the Summary page):

This page provides you a snapshot of your eBay Buying and Selling activity and gets you to the items you need to take action on faster.

At the top of the page, there is a new section called “My Reminders.” This section is your "notepad" on eBay. Use it to remind yourself of anything you want, related to eBay or not, and you can even tie it to a specific date if you like. For example, maybe you'd put “Buy replacement gas cap,” “Sell records on Sunday” or "Get Father's Day Gift". You can use this section if you want, and if not, you can remove it.

The next two sections are a different display of the current Buying and Selling Reminders. In the new design, instead of just showing the number of items you need to leave feedback for, we’ll also show you the items.

The last section previews results from your saved searches and sellers, so you can easily find out about new listings you’re interested in.
