eBay Workshop: eBay Express: Wish List & Other Product Developments - Nov 8

Oct 31, 2006 8:18 PM
Topic: eBay Workshop: eBay Express: Wish List & Other Product Developments

Host: eBay Staff
Date: Wednesday 11/08
Time: 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm PT
Location: Workshop Board

Description: Learn about the new Wish List functionality we’re launching for buyers on eBay Express, just in time for the holiday season. You'll be able to add items you like to a Wish List right from the item page and then make the list available to anyone you choose. Given the wide range of items on eBay Express, buyers can finally send their friends and family the one list with everything they want for the holidays. Also, learn about new placements for eBay Express we’ll be testing within eBay.com as a way to increase awareness of eBay Express. As part of these tests, a small number of eBay.com pages will have additional eBay Express promotions.

Cheers,

Deirdre

Wish Lists Overview
Got a birthday coming up? Holiday shopping lists to save? Keep track of everything you want for you, your friends, and family with eBay Express wish lists. Shoppers can create wish lists:

• For any event – up to 10 different recipients or occasions

You are able to add to your wish list from any item page. Here’s an example of an item page, you’ll see the ‘Add to wish list’ button next to the ‘Add to Cart’ button. You can always access your wish list through links at the top of every page in the eBay Express header..
Other benefits:
• See something you like? Add it to your Wish List!
• Automatically keeps track of eBay Express items you are interested in buying in the future…
• Add an item to Wish List from anywhere in the Browsing or Buying Process
• Create up to ten Wish Lists – your Holiday Wish List, Mom’s birthday, Potential kids’ gifts etc.
• Get What you Really Want!/No More Hinting. Share your Wish Lists with friends and family – they’ll know the perfect holiday gift to get.

Managing your lists
When you create a wish list, make it as descriptive as possible so people know what you really want and why. You can add notes for each item you add to your wish list – like, “I would also be happy with this iPod nano in hot pink or white.” Or you can let your friends and family know which item you REALLY want most. Feel free to add and change quantities – it’s your list, so it’s all about you!

You can write a short note for each of the items in your wish list. For example, you can write notes to let your friends and family know which items you want most.

Your wish lists are automatically public, but you can make them private at any time. We’ve also provided an email function so you can let friends and family know what’s on your list and when you’ve added new items.

Items will stay on your list for up to 90 days. If something you’ve added to your list is no longer available for sale on eBay Express, we’ll suggest an alternative when we can.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I create a wish list?
Creating a wish list on eBay Express is simple – find the wish list link at the top of any eBay Express page or click on one of the ‘Add to wish list’ buttons on item pages and follow the instructions. You’ll be asked:
- To name your wish list
- Describe what the list is for (birthday, housewarming, etc.)
- Whether you want your list to be public or private

Then, start adding all the items you want from eBay Express!

2. How do I edit or manage my wish list?
You can access your wish lists at any time by using the link at the top of any eBay Express page. From there, you can add, remove or edit items on your list and decide if you want your list to be public or private. If you have more than one list, you’ll see the different lists you have opened.

3. How many wish lists can I have?
You can have up to 10 wish lists. Having multiple lists lets you sort items for special events (i.e., Gifts for Mom, Gifts for Baby, Things for ME, etc). It also lets you control what you want to be public and what you want to keep private.

4. Something on my wish list is no longer available. What happened?
Chances are, the item you put on your list was sold. If there are other items like it, we will leave the item on your list with links to similar items available for sale. If you see one you like, just add it to your wish list and remove the item no longer available.

eBay Express placements on eBay.com
We’ve started testing different eBay Express placements within eBay.com to increase awareness of eBay Express. As part of these tests, a small number of visitors to eBay.com will see these additional promotions. Examples include the eBay.com homepage, eBay search results, unsuccessful bidder emails, favorite search emails, and closed item pages.

Hi there - Now that you've had a chance to read the overview and FAQs, I thought I would kickoff the discussion with a few fun questions --
- What’s on your wish list for the holidays?
- What occasions will you use Wish Lists for?
- What other ways can you imagine using the eBay Express Wish List?
- Who will you send your wish list to?

Feel free to answer or add any additional questions you want to group to respond to!

For my perspective as a buyer, I already put Elmo TMX on my Wish List, but am just watching prices on it go sadly higher - that's one popular Holiday item!

I want one of those new iPods (the little ones), and I want some books, and I kind of want (although I'm not sure that I'm ready to admit it) a portable game player (like Nintendo DS or PSP). Sometimes I get bored on flights, and it would be nice to be able to get my Donkey Kong on.

It would be sweet if I could take my eBay Express wish list and post it on my web site. My mom loves that stuff - one year she bought me everything on my Amazon wish list. Okay, there were only four books on there, but I was pretty shocked.
