range of products and information
The Ebuyer website provides customers with a vast amount of produce to choose from. They offer over 100,000 quality products and according to their ‘about’ page, their “list of product categories and product offerings is growing every day.”
They truly supply a huge range of computer technology products such as desktops, notebooks, printers, networking, digital cameras, software, storage etc. Plus they offer other products such as LCD and DLP TVs, MP3 players, gaming, home electronics and even some house ware and sporting equipment.
The product information provided is both extensive and meaningful. Each product has it's own 'toolbox'. An example product is shown below:
On the right is the 'toolbox'. This feature allows the user to find out basic information on the product including a summary of its entire contents. The user can also find out more detailed technical information on the product by clicking on the 'product specifications' option.
The 'compare products' option is also very useful. It allows users to compare the product with up to four other similar listed items. The products in the list are all from the same category and brand. This is a very well thought out feature which enables the customer to make a more informed decision and helps them make the most appropriate product choice.
Ebuyer (like most online stores) also has a place where customers can write their own reviews about products. The average rating is shown next to the products details. Unlike many customer review features, Ebuyer's has a special filter. This filter can display both reviews or comments and can change the order of them to best suit the customer.
This is an incredibly useful tool - especially when their are hundreds of reviews and comments to look through.
