Enlarge v Quick Look

Sounding off on the "quick look" option that is showing up on more and more auctions. I find they are a waste of my time as I can't see much more of the item that I did in the thumbnail. The info is repetitive. If I do end up wanting to see the listing I have to click and wait for the load a second time. Too slow for me. If I want to look at something more closely, give me the "enlarge." It's bigger and I can see detail to determine if I want to look at the listing. I don't usually look at "quick look" listings. I scan the listings pretty fast looking for what I want. "Enlarge" gives me a fast look. Sometimes it even draws me in to a listing I might otherwise have passed by. Since I can't see detail in "quick look" and only want to click on the actual items I might really be interested in I usually pass right by those listings. What do other people think about these options?|||What do other people think about these options? Honestly, I have worse things in life to worry about...You probably spent more time typing that paragraph than it takes for you to do the "quick look"|||Probably did spend more time than for one quick look Does ebay monitor comments? I'd really like to let them know what I think. I'll put the message up for them if I can find the right place to put it. thanks|||Frankly I dislike them both! But... 'Quick Look' is an especially irritating new feature in that it also leads buyers off to look at other people's listings, before they've even entered yours! ~James~|||Here's a place to send ebay suggestions - Link But again to be the negative nelly, I'd consider it wasted time to even e-mail them unless it just makes you feel better. Sorry.~James~|||"Quick look"is irrating esp if I mouse over it by mistake while scrolling thru a list thus showing me something I am not interested in and sometimes can't get to go away. "Enlarge"can be nice but it is awful slow sometimes.It may not be your fault but it is your responsibility Silver rule "do not do to others what you would not like to be done to you"|||I also think that 'quick look' is most likely not included in page views, and that might be why a lot of sellers see their page views lowered.'You call some place paradise - kiss it goodbye' - Eagles, The Last Resort|||YES!! I do not buy from quick look, I don't understand the purpose of this feature. Sellers please use the enlarge, it is great!!!!!!!!!!!|||Despise quick look, love enlarge. When I see quick look on the auctions I leave.|||I don't care. If i like the looks of an item I open up the listing and read all the details.|||Quick look is a stupendous blunder and leads me to believe Ebay does no usability testing whatsoever. It isn't the sellers choice to choose quick look or enlarge, it's another Ebay genius move. Pay no attention to what consumers need and want, take away the useful enhancements consumers love and replace them with irritating annoying crap that pisses the consumers off. On top of that Ebay has become SLOW, it's like being on dial-up.|||Only certain categories offer the "enlarge" option. Quick look is the only option for clothing category...which desperately needs the enlarge option INMHO
