Interesting.

Thanks Glenn.

Can't be too sure. But maybe the reason could be that your ebay rating is high while the no-mistake ebay seller has no rating. In essence: its not the picture that made the difference. Its You.

Besides that, the only reason I can think of is - seeing a doll picture under the Bizarre category gets at least three times as many people to click and open an ebay product page. Nah...

(Crossed paths with Duane as I started writing the post before he had published his. In hindsight - I should have kept quite. Duane covers all the points - and in a much better way...)

Hi, Glenn - for me, the problem starts (and stops) with the formatting - I simply cannot read it. I'm working up something for you and will send you it by pm later tonight.

Default Thanks Margaret - I'm Open to Testing another Format

Dear Margaret,

Thanks for the idea.

I was using Garageband or one of those Ebay auction programs with multiple colors and styles and formats.

Hated it.

AND my auction sales sank when the format got too CUTE.

So I'll test what you suggest, sure.

Glenn

Glenn,

Just for your "For What It's Worth" file, I visited your website, then visited a dozen others.

Your site is the only one that bleeds off the right side of the screen so that I
have to scroll right in order to read everything.

You might want to cut down on the width. 650 is a good size to use.

Pete

Dear Pete,

Thanks.

I didn't know any websites were "bleeding" and I DO wanna stop it.

Which site is too wide?

I'll send you the ""100 million dollar Movie Report"" for telling me.

Thanks,
glenn

Glen,

Your #1 version of the auction. All of the content bleeds off to the right of my screen.

I'm using FireFox

Dear Ankesh,

Thanks.

Did you get the ""100 Million dollar Movie List Report" I sent you - OK?

I was walking Seraphina thru the Ebay sales format
pages.

Discovered she needed 5 feedbacks before they allow her to use "BUY-it-Now."

So this Test was sort of forced on us.

Makes things interesting, huh?

Glenn

Seasons Greetings Everyone:
The copy is very strange. Even unbelievable! That photo of the guy is weird. It could literally run the youngin's right out the classroom. Why would anyone need a Noise Thermometer? especially a Teacher??? Keep your eyes open and watch your wallet! I taught for over 15 years in an Urban Public school. First time seeing something like this. But... It really GRABS your ATTENTION!

Peace and Love for you in the New Year 2009.
