    eBay Dresses - Market Research opinions GREATLY appreciated!!
    Hi guys,
    I've started selling on eBay and I've put up this listing for dresses. I haven't actually done a great deal of market research in terms of what people actually find attractive as a listing and general stuff like that. So I though I could get some constructive criticism from you guys if you would like to help. Btw I am NOT advertising my product please don't think that I am genuinely asking for some criticism on the listing so that I can improve it. I'm posting on this forum because this is at the end of the day the fashion section so I would assume you guys have an interest in fashion and have an opinion on such things.

    This is the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007822797...#ht_3066wt_932

    It is for a summer mini dress in 7 different colours - could you please take a look at the listing and think about the following questions

    1. Are the images of the dress attractive? Would you want to buy it?
    2. Is the price reasonable? What would you be willing to pay for this dress if you saw it outside? Are the colours etc good?
    3. Is the listing in general informative? Are some details omitted that you would have liked to know?
    4. What are the good points? Also, the bad points?
    5. Would you be interested in a service that allowed you to pick any colour and shade you liked and have us produce that colour for you? How much would you be willing to pay for such a service.

    Thank you so much in advance!! Btw you don't need to answer all those questions in that order.. Just comment and answer whatever you feel like jumps out at you.

    THANK YOU

    Why is that dress being partially lifted up in every picture? Is that how people wear dresses now?
    I don't think it truly lets people see how it looks if it's lifted up, are you trying to cover up that it's a funny shape around the bottom?

    Other than that, which I don't think makes too much of a difference, obviously that's a minor factor. Information is very good, price looks good.

    Just giving my opinion, obviously I'm not a woman so don't wear dresses, just giving a little review
    I like it, good luck on the business!

    Ohh okay.. thank you so much for that pointer! It was actually an issue of the modelling and editing I will definitely fix that up today! Its lifted up to show how much material there is and how flowy it is but I guess I should have more pics. Thank you

    Noo, the pictures are very good, i'm definitely not complaining about the amount of pictures. I've just refreshed the page and 4 of the pictures hadn't previously loaded. I can now see the pictures of it being worn naturally. So I take back my previous comment.

    I think it's a very good advertisement.
