My World gets scrolling feedback

by Sue Bailey

This post was written in February 2008; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

eBay My World pages have a cute little change that’s appeared recently: newest feedback scrolls so you can read more than one comment without having to do anything. Here’s mine if you want to see it in action.

If you’ve previously had your feedback comments on My World set to a low number so they didn’t overwhelm the rest of the page, you might want to change that now: it’s the “edit” link at the top right of the feedback box. For future changes, I think it would be better to have the Gallery image of the item than the buyer’s My World icon. But hey, it’s nice to have something to say about feedback this week that’s not going to cause any controversy ;-)

Thanks to Whirly for the heads up.

    Ohh ta, just upgraded mine to display more than the last two listings! I don’t look at My World nearly as much as I should :eek:

    Nice idea.

    I put a pic of myself up for a laugh but then figured out that this could work as some free advertising.

    Just changed the image to an add pointing out our free shipping offer.

    Now every feedback comment I leave will scroll the add in my buyers “my world” feedback comments.

    A quick tip. The image is 150 x 150 pixels but is reduced to 50 x 50 in the scrolling feedback. So make the image at 150 x 150, reduce to 50 x 50 to preview what it will look like. Then undo the size change and load it up.

    Thanks to an earlier post about gallery images I also added a bright border. :wink:

    Check out my feedback and let me know what you think.

    Nick, you’re a genius. I’ll be ridding the world of the pic of me and the cat, and adding something more advertisingy first thing in the morning.

    Can I put that comment on my CV Sue :grin:

    Hmmm, I wonder if you can load animated GIF’s, now that would be interesting!

    LOL

    Look at http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/bass3869

    Its a rolling iPosters add!

    May look a bit silly on a negative comment though.

    Funnily enough, I was wondering about animated gifs myself :-D
