I designed a new feature allowing customers to view real-time market values of their trading cards on eBay for the first time.

  • Role

    Responsible for end to end product design.

  • Team

    1 designer, 1 product managers 5+ engineers.

  • Timeline

    2022 - 2023 with initial launch and subsequent iterations.

The Problem

Finding out how much cards were worth on eBay was a very laborious, manual process. Secondly, eBay was losing to the competition due to data quality issues.

What we knew

  • Specific search patterns

    Customers rely on a search-based workflow, browsing from broad to narrow query to better understand specific card value.

  • Untrustworthy

    eBay market data is perceived as untrustworthy due to poor matches to searches and “fake listings”.

  • Market volatility

    Trading card prices fluctuate rapidly, so understanding and being able to track these changes is significant.

  • User personas are fluid

    Trading card customers typically buy and sell on eBay. Underscoring the need for relevant metrics and opportunities to transact on both parts of the market place.

Solution and outcomes

Designed and delivered a price tracking tool that aggregates and displays past eBay transaction data in a trustworthy, digestible, and actionable way.
