Quote:Update: More Offer Listing Page Improvements
Posted: Feb 22, 2006 1:09 PM

More changes to the Offer Listing Page!
As noted in our January 25th announcement, we are continuing to make changes to the Amazon.com website in the coming weeks to improve the buying experience on the ‘Offer Listing Page.'  The Offer Listing Page for a product displays the New, Used, Collectible, and Refurbished (in some product categories) offers listed by sellers on Amazon.com.

Here is an example of today’s Offer Listing Page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/offer-l...439784549/

On or around February 27th, we will begin showing the fixed ‘Domestic Standard’ shipping cost alongside the item’s price for books, music, videos and DVDs on the offer listing page.  At this time these changes will only apply to these categories.

Here is an example of the new page:

Why change this?
The new page has been designed to clearly show the total cost of Marketplace media items for buyers.  This in turn should help reduce unwarranted negative feedback associated with buyers who are not familiar with Marketplace shipping costs. 

Will this cost more for buyers or sellers?
No, these changes do not affect what buyers pay or what sellers are credited for shipping Marketplace items. A list of our current shipping rates is located here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/1161252/

What about International and Expedited shipping?
Only the ‘Domestic Standard’ rate will be displayed on the page (for Books this is currently $3.49).  Buyers can still choose to pay more for international or expedited shipping on items that are enabled for those shipping methods.

We anticipated these changes would take place in the last few weeks; however, the changes were delayed. The Offer Listing Page improvements are now live.
