Ebay Case Study

Well, I am now an eBay user! Navigating through eBay to set up an account was just like any other site. I had to change my username three times until I found one that it accepted, created a password, and typed in a security code among other things. A conformation e-mail was sent to me and although I couldn't click on the link, there was another option for me to get my conformation code and click on the other link if the previous one wasn't working. This is something that most other sites when dealing with email do not have. I then proceeded to search the site for something worth following. Happily to say, everything I searched I found which was a nice change. Maybe the items I was searching for were relatively popular but it was still refreshing. Once I found an item, I easily clicked on the icon that allowed me to follow the item, overall nothing too complicated. Downloading Flex was the easiest download I have done so far. It literally took all of 50 seconds to complete and there is now an eBay tab on my Safari page. I find that the quick link is very easy and allows you to view the items that you are following with ease. Both Flex and the eBay page were easy to navigate. For those avid eBay users I can see that this sidebar is very easy and convenient. The navigation portion of the sidebar is easy being that you can buy the item and watch it without having to load the eBay page. It gives you the basics without all the hassle of loading a page. I think the sidebar is a great thing to have if you are consistently buying things on eBay, its a quick organization tool that allows you to access what you want fast.
