Those of you who made it to eBay Live! or who listened to the keynote speech by Bill Cobb, President of eBay North America, heard about some of the improvements and innovation in the works. These changes are designed to celebrate what makes eBay a unique destination and to bring out the joy of winning. Whether you're getting that great deal, or selling an item for more than you expected, we want you to feel the windorphins!
For example, Bill mentioned that right now we're testing a number of variations of the eBay.com home page to make it more useful and inviting. Or maybe you've seen how my colleague Blair has blogged about how we're making My eBay even better. And Jeff King recently told you about some important Finding tests going on, as well as the Playground, an area where you can go kick the tires on some of our new designs yourself.
(By the way, if you log in and suddenly see a new experience, don't adjust your screen. This means you are part of a test, and the particular test you're in will likely be over in a couple weeks. The data we collect from your use of the new design shows us how you interact with the page, which is extremely helpful for us – it shows us where to go from there!)
I'm Renée and I work in our product development organization. I, along with many of my colleagues, will be sharing the news about these and other changes coming...starting now!
Get a Sneak Peek
Watch for our blog posts and check out all the good stuff at sneakpeek.ebay.com. I'm excited because all of this, of course, is to make YOUR eBay better for YOU. We want you to know about what's happening behind the scenes as we test new products, and we want to make sure you are informed about many planned changes before they launch, so you can give us feedback. Yeah!
Also, be sure to check Sneak Peek often, because we'll be adding new content regularly. If you have input for us, please send it to us at sneakpeek@ebay.com. We won't be able to answer each email individually, but we'll do our best to respond either by batching comments together and blogging about them, or by making tweaks to the project to which your feedback applies.
Check it out...and let those windorphins flow!
Sincerely,
Renée VonBergen
