At eBay Live we announced that we would be updating the View Item page to improve the buyer experience.
"Flex" design lets you size your template the way you want it
- May want to cap at 800 px anyway because 15% of eBay users are still at 800 x 600 px.
Larger images sizes (EPS automatically resized, self hosted are not)
- Base item picture = 300 x 300 px (current – 200 x 150 px)
- Larger item picture = 500 x 500 px (current – 400 x 300 px)
- No change in supersize image size
Here's an example of how images will look in the new View Item page image frame depending on how the image is hosted and what action the seller takes.
|
Original image in new View Item image frame |
Original image in EPS automatically resized to fill View Item image frame |
New image optimized for new View Item image frame |
Self-hosted image. No seller action taken. |
EPS-hosted image. No seller action taken. |
Self-hosted or EPS-hosted image. Seller has provided new image. |
We are continuing to study how buyers use the new View Item page. To check it out and learn more about the new design, visit this page: http://pages.ebay.com/newitempage/.
