Launch Week: Initial Feedback and List’d Direction
Wow, we’ve had a crazy week so far. The feedback from everyone in the community has been great – we really appreciate you taking the time to give us your thoughts, whether they are good or bad. We’ve had our first feature requests, one of which I thought I would address here, and I also wanted to let you know the reasoning behind doing some of the things that we did.
First off, List’d Express was designed to be easy to use, especially for the eBay newbie. With that thought in mind, we defaulted a lot of decisions, stripped out the some extraneous functionality that only 5% of sellers use, and then worked hard on the user interface to make it all intuitive.
With this simple tool, we have a platform from which to build some other very cool features. For instance, one of the requests we’ve had is for internationalization, which in this case means being able to list items to eBay UK and eBay Germany.
We hear you loud and clear and the team is working to make that function a reality at some point in the near future. There are a few complications that we have to figure out, even with a simple tool like List’d Express, when we have those straightened out, we’ll let you know. Sign up for the List’d email (to the right) and we’ll notify you when that happens.
Our goal is to keep this a simple, easy-to-use tool that anyone can use. So, no matter what features we add, we always keep that at the forefront of any decision we make. Please keep emailing us, commenting on the blog, and getting on the message boards – your feedback is critical to making this the best eBay tool on the Web.
