Make one change, measure it's impact, then make another change when you know how the first one has affected your business. That way you can assess the impact of each change on it's own merits rather than never quite knowing what's working for you and what's not. Don ‘t do anything yet.

If a buyer has found an auction but wants to buy immediately you can include a link along the lines of "<a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5232-2978-1/1?AID=9479574&PID=2040833&mpre=http%3A//stores.ebay.co.uk/Mount-Road-Computers_Dell-Laptop-Accessories_Dell-Docking-Stations_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ44775QQftidZ2QQtZkm%23designed" rel="nofollow">Buy it now in my eBay shop</a>". However compare that link with "<a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5232-2978-1/1?AID=9479574&PID=2040833&mpre=http%3A//stores.ebay.co.uk/Mount-Road-Computers_Dell-Laptop-Accessories_Dell-Docking-Stations_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ44775QQftidZ2QQsclZ1QQtZkm%23designed" rel="nofollow">Buy it now in my eBay shop</a>" and you'll see the second one directs the buyer to the type of activity you wish them to perform and that by clicking the link they've indicated they want. If a buyer indicates they want to make an immediate purchase why show them auctions?
