eBay redesign
eBay has published a radical redesign of their homepage. Instead of focusing on the variety of items available for sale on the site, the new design explains the process by which you can buy things on eBay. I’d like to see the research that led to this design decision, since I found the old design to be much more inviting and intuitive. I honestly don’t care about how to buy things on eBay, I care about what I can buy on eBay. (Then again, I’ve never bought anything on eBay, so perhaps I’m not the target audience.)
