  • First problem: the web page does not fit in my monitor screen, requiring me to "scroll" using the horizontal window bar. Much better to have the page fit the monitor, so that only vertical scrolling is required.

    So I think prospective bidders will find it highly annoying to navigate the page.

  • Thats pretty nice dude.


    you can leave it if ya want but...I would put 1 large coin and 1 small coin on both sides of the upper title. Kinda like bookends.

    Too many words and too little coin. Format is fundamentally nice, but you don't need a novel's worth of policies and payment info. Just give me the basics and some nice giant images that don't require me to click a link to see.

    That text is way too small... no way will I even try to read what it says, it hurts so much.

    I agree with the others, fit everything on the screen without having to scroll over and do away with all the text. Use another page for your policies, etc. The index page should be very simple.

    It's unanamous. Tooooooooooo Long. I fell asleep halfway through. Also, everyone is right as to make the thing fit the screen.

  • Maybe say something along the lines of ".....IT ALL LOOKS GOOD TO ME"

  • I particularly feel that if the buyer is interested in the coin, the more they will want to read some of the detail of the auction. With that format, you're almost sure to have only serious buyers. image

    On the other hand, I don't particularly like wordy auctions. I feel that images, titles, listing times, and gallery images sell a coin.

  • I agree with everyone else, way to much information about shipping S/H/I and return policies. My 2 cents, put all that stuff on your About Me page and link to it in the auction. Put just the basics in the auction. If they want to read all the fine print they can click on the link.
    Big pictures are a plus, pictures will do the selling not your words. BIG pictures without having to click on a link. I think they should be 75% if not more of the auction format.

    Just my 2 cents though.

  • Way too much info that intimidates buyers into thinking they have to read everything to make sure you don’t have some shady policy. Even the most bored buyer probably wont read = 0 bids.


    I know because I am a buyer.
