It's time to open this up for discussion:

http://stores.ebay.com/E-Pet-Products

The above store is Harold and Martha's eBay store that Deb and myself have been tweaking. It is in no way finished yet but we wanted to get your thoughts as we take on this task. They have an established brand for pet supplies that we are trying to exploit. All opinions and suggestions are welcome and you never know, you may find something you need.

Hey you 2 -

It looks very nice so far - I love all the graphics....way too darn cute!!  Just some 'quick' thoughts as a pet-owner/lover....

I believe the bottom 2 suppliers are for fish and reptilian items.  You may want to consider adding a snake, reptilian or non-furry critters category!

On first glance, I wasn't sure what was different about Garden Tools - Bird Feeders and the next category.  On final glance....I still don't think I 'get it' - but ... you must consider the source - eh?

Realizing it's a WIP (work in progress), and not knowing how many items/products are available, do you intend to separate out the pet 'food' vs. the pet 'items'?  So - a category for Dog Supplies and then another for Dog Treats or Snacks or Yummies or whatever it should be called.  Make sense?

Pet Guides - very nice!  Do you want some topics?  I can think of a few..... 

Do you want feedback on the 'text'?  Or the Look/Feel?  Tell me what ya want so I know which pair of glasses to put on!!

Anal Erin - over and out....

Thanks Erin!  So far the only thing we have tweaked is the graphics and the colors, so I'm hoping we did that part right.  I was trying to make it a Happy Place.  hysterical hysterical hysterical hysterical

Actually Harold does have those categories, but nothing listed in them right now so they don't show up.

I'll be honest I didn't get that one either.  Joe and I will be going over all the categories and combining/adding as needed.  Right now they are still setup like Harold & Martha had them.

Those categories are actually already in place...just nothing listed yet.    We will be trimming the categories down ALOT.  Buyers tend to leave when there are too many categories.  It's overwhelming and looks like 'too much work' to sift thru them all, so it's best to combine where possible...especially if you only have very few items in each category.   So those will be getting a major overhaul and tweaking, but we will be breaking it down in subcategories like Dog Food/Treats, etc.

Talk to Harold.  Those are his and Marthas department.  hysterical hysterical hysterical hysterical

We haven't 'tweaked' the text yet, but we are definitely open to ALL suggestions!

  For looking it over for us and giving us input!!

  Well................... 
I'm a fan so it is difficult to be bias

**I absolutely LOVE the graphics

**I love the fact it doesn't look like an ebay store

Deb - I'm an ole softy for happy animals, and you got 'got that' going on!  I smiled the whole time I flipped from page to page - not as concerned (yet) over content, and having fun looking at the babies!!!

I agree that it doesn't look like your average ebaY store - and that's a great thing!!!

Keep up and shout when you have made more changes and we'll take a looksie again!
