I like the new concept but I also like pinterest so that will be why lol, I think in general the quality of images on eBay has increased over the last 6 years, sellers have got savy to how much of a difference in price and conversion it can make but there is still a way to go for the majority. I think you are right Chuckford it is going to look pants in comparison to what is demonstrated there, however it isn't brilliant now so it will still be an improvement.
One thing is clear here though, the importance of a quality title is going to diminish, the images are going to be far more important than they are now so one off sellers are going to be at a significant disadvantage. For me it is all good, as long as Ebay don't change their code too much so I have to rebuild the shop and listing templates!
