Buyers Balk As eBay Expands Immediate Payment For Offers Paid Members Public
eBay expands Immediate Payment For Offers, but buyers are balking at entering payment info to make offers.
By moving the breadcrumbs (a critical navigation element emphasized by many users) beneath eBay's ever-growing shoehorning of competitor promoted items in paid eBay listings, eBay is effectively introducing deliberate friction into the user experience requiring them to scroll through countless ads before they can access essential product details.
In practice, this new layout does more than merely guide users to information. It converts every scroll into an ad impression generator. Each additional ad exposure is not simply incidental, it's (likely) part of a calculated strategy to maximize ad visibility and, by extension, increase the likelihood that even minor, peripheral ad interactions will eventually contribute to sale attribution.
After all, someone’s got to help top off the coffers...those legal bills don’t pay themselves.
