***Original: Coming Soon: Buy Hub***
Date: 09/16/04 Time: 09:11:42 AM PDT
In the next few weeks, we will introduce our new Buy Hub. This is the second stage of a long-term project to make easier and more intuitive to use by organizing the numerous tools, education content, and other resources into logical landing pages. The new Buy hub will be the starting point for buying-related tools and activities. The recently-introduced Sell hub was the first stage of this project.
Also included will be updates to the top navigation bars and bottom footers of all pages.
Buy Hub
As part of this project, the current Browse button found at the top of almost every page will be renamed to “Buy”. By clicking on Buy, you will see a new Buy hub page which looks very similar to the current Browse page, and includes a search box as well as additional buying-related links and features. Additions include:
More links to categories;
Access to buying reminders from My
New shortcuts to your Favorite sellers, searches & categories from My
Alerts when an item on your Watch list is ending soon.
Navigation Bar Changes
The Search button currently in the navigation bar will be replaced with a search box that will be located in the top-right of almost every page. An Advanced Search link will be available right underneath the search box, which you can use to access options currently found by clicking the Search button, such as Find Items and Find Members.
The Help button will also be added back into the main navigation bar to make it more prominent and easier to find. Please note that these changes will not affect the Stores minimized header.
Footer Links
The links at the bottom of most pages will be updated as well, including:
New shortcuts to your Favorite sellers, searches & categories from My
Consistent links across various pages so that you can always find important information.
To preview the upcoming changes, please click here. We have also started a thread on the Bidding discussion board for members to leave their comments. Please click here to access the thread.
The other hubs to be developed over the months ahead include a hub for Community resources, as well as smaller projects such as adding a landing page to My for visitors who are not signed in and a more efficient Help hub. To learn more about this initiative to make easier and more intuitive to use, you can the read our recent Product Strategy article in September’s online Chatter newsletter.
