- Average price for an item.
I know. Vendors will never go for it. But, as a buyer, I like having my expectations set up front instead of finding out through experience that the product is out of my price range.
- Recommendations
I visit Ebay for the same type of items. It would be nice to implement a recommendation system isolated on each profile.
- IM System
Wasn't the original purpose of Ebay to connect people with similar interest? I understand and appreciate the "message system" in place but we need something with more of an immediate presence. In today's world, waiting hours for a reply really pulls in the opposite polarity of our rushed humanity.
- Links to reviews for items
This is by the far the most important. I normally buy electronics on here. Goods with that much user involvement require all the buyers' remorse minimizing factors possible. If I purchase an Xbox 360 game, why not have a link to the Gamespot, Gametrailers, or Ign trailer right there on the page? Better yet, why not just have a thumbnail with the score and a short summary...similar to metacritic.com?
