View Original Idea

The overall concept is to get the software finished and begin to market, either to customers of ebay, or ebay themselves.
The software overall idea is to help sellers list items not only fast, but to attract attention, and keep perspective buyers on their listing to find out more about the item. It's actually a very innovative way to attract more people as well. These are some of the features the software includes:
1.A text box for seller to easily add glitter text, attracting attention to a heading or title for the item.
2.A website link that is already opened in a box, which provides free music HTML codes, that the writers, singers, have agreed to share.
3.A website link that is already opened in a box, which provides an upload link, so that sellers can upload pictures, and create sideshows for free, without the 15 cent per picture fee, please keep reading, so that I may explain how this will not make Ebay lose money.
4.A description box that provides over 30 different fonts, and up to 2,000 different color options. It also provides from size 8 to 72 in font size.
5.A very easy to use method, and help features on every option, with a mouse camera to show the user anything they may need to know.
6.A database that stores the listing and keeps it for up to 1 year, the seller can choose how long to keep it.
7.An extra list of .mid .kar and .wav file songs is also provided on the same page, so that the seller can choose a song that goes with the item they are selling.
8A small box that expands to full screen size and scrolls with a large selection of .gif files, so that the seller can add animation to the listing, catching even more attention. And the option of choosing one that goes best with the item for sale.

~Keeping the pictures free for seller and allowing them to create a slideshow, allows them to save a few cents per listing. Which will also entice seller to list more items. By the seller saving money on pictures, Ebay will make more money when seller's list more items.
~The attention grabbing: music, animation, glitter-text, slideshows with many different pictures of the item, and different fonts and colors will keep potential buyers on the page longer, increasing the amount of people that bid. Once a buyer has bid and looked at the item several times, they begin to feel that they already own the item, which will make them increase their bid. This helps you (Ebay) to further increase profit, by the final value fee.
~The slideshows also allow the seller to add more pictures (up to 9) which will give buyers more to look at, and begin to feel good in their bid, therefore if they are outbid they will increase their maximum bid.

The conclusion: Sellers will have a easy to use listing tool with tons of features, that they actually "LIKE" to use. This will also increase the number of listings on ebay. The seller can actually have fun listing items! It also encourages more people to list, since they will not have to pay for each picture they add. The seller will feel great getting more money for their item, and will be enticed to list more often. They will also have the option to fully customize their auctions (ex. Glitter Text With Their User ID or Store Name).
Ebay will profit actually profit from the software, as well as the seller. Final Value Fee's will increase, Listing Fee income will increase, due to the fact that more people will list more often, profit will also generate from Paypal, since more people will be paying, and the amounts will be more. You (Ebay) will benefit just as well, if not more than seller's. Although the seller will also be able to have the feeling that they are really saving money, and they will!
Buyer's will feel like the listing is meant for them! With slideshows, music that fits the item, and other details, they can also enjoy looking at auctions, driving more traffic to ebay!
Ebay, Seller's, and Buyers will all be able to benefit and enjoy this software!
