Do you click on red & blue store doors to browse stores ?

[chameleon54]

Just out of interest how many people click on sellers store doors to browse for items ? I know I never do, only searching for items by description. If you do, what is your demographic profile, broadly speaking ? 

I suspect the stores appeal to woman more than men and perhaps 40 years + old. Teenagers may also use the facility although they tend to use other sites more than ebay. I suspect buyers of womans fashion, vintage items and crafty people would be regular browsers of stores.  

I,m just interested to know if it is a demographic thing. My stores are pretty basic. Am I missing an opportunity here ? My market is mature aged men, and I find the old store design easier to navigate with more items per page and neatly lined up on top of each other. To me this makes it quicker and more efficient to browse. ( I dont have the time to really browse and rarely buy on impulse. )

I get it is not as Funky and the smaller pics not eye catching for the impulse buyer.  How important is store layout to you, and does it influence your purchases ?

As a 40+ woman, I rarely view stores. If I have bought something I found in search I might look at their store before paying to see if there is anything else that takes my fancy, but mostly shop by search. That said, most of my purchases are by auction, unless I want something really specific and want it now.

Mr Tippy who is 50+ always shops by stores and will spend hours trawling through stores. Often he can't think of the name of the item, or he's not sure of the correct spelling, so the trawling begins.

I am 50 as well so maybe a generation thing I think with me it comes from hours of markets and auctions when I was a child I love sifted through stuff to find that hidden bargain and if I do not find one well it was free entertainment
