“What we’re testing: We’re showing a badge in the review section of the listing page for sellers that have received high ratings in the past month.
Goal: To increase buyer confidence by highlighting items that have received several 5-star reviews in the last month.”
OK, I’m confused, is the review for the seller or the item? “what we’re testing” is the seller. The “Goal” is “items” that have received 5-star reviews.
OR is it 5-star reviews on THAT item by THAT seller…LOL, I am confused.
Yet another copycat item from eBay. They need to focus on what’s wrong, not add ore items that may go wrong. Geesh. Get a clue.
Badges are what Ebay does, so it isn’t surprising that we are moving more and more towards Ebay. If Ebay is the model, why did Josh leave?
Etsy is getting more and more like a silly school run by the muppets.
