I'm working w/ ujeezy on this.<p>Here's the basic problem we're trying to address: if you know what you want on eBay, search is generally sufficient, but product discovery is really hard when you want to browse. We're trying to test whether or not a more visual way of browsing eBay would be something that would appeal to both casual eBay users and serious eBay enthusiasts.<p>We've setup some hypotheses to see if this is something worth pursuing (based on a minimum sample of 500 uniques):<p>- Click through rate (clicks to eBay): 20%<p>- Conversion rate of those clicks: 3% (over 7 days)<p>- Return rate for users: 15% of users return within 2 days of their first exposure<p>Any exposure would be appreciated. I'll post our test results if there's interest once it's complete.
