Title: Export product list as CSV
Post by: alexduz on July 28, 2012, 02:07 am
When I'm shopping, I like to compare all the prices/quantities/sellerRatings/shipFroms/etc. so that I can make the best tradeoff.  In the pre-July2012 design, the text for each item in a page of product listing was on its own line, so I could cut-and-past the product listing into a file, export it into Excel, and tweak it into a convenient form pretty easily (see attachment for a quantity/price spreadsheet and graph).  In the July2012 design, this text is split across multiple lines, which makes it much more labor-intensive to do what I used to do.  :(

What I'd like  :) is if all the information in a product listing could be exported to a CSV file that I could import directly into Excel.

And what I'd really like  :D is if the total weight of the product were given in a consistent form in this spreadsheet, so that I wouldn't have to translate (between, ounces, grams, milligrams, hits, caps, etc.).

I think that this feature would encourage competition and make it easier for customers to make good decisions.
