eBay’s Signup Procedure
I recently helped someone create an eBay login so they could bid on something and I came across a very intelligent little piece of HTML goodness. As with most sites, eBay requires a valid e-mail address, but what eBay does a little differently is that when you reach the page that says “Please check your e-mail for verification” they actually provide a button that opens up your email, assuming that is that you use a web based e-mail client like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc… Very nice! Perhaps all of the “major” e-commerce sites do this, I haven’t created a new Amazon.com account in years so I can’t say if eBay is alone in this or not.
