Since the launch of out beta testing dropshipping site. We have only need to overcome some smallish issues. Many customers have welcomed the addition to Eyo web site. There are increasing number of orders placed through the Dropshipping web site. User interface/visual improvement we have made since the initial launch include the following:

• Implemented Associated Products. Many products now have a associated products table attached at the bottom of the product page. This will help customers to select associated products to a great extend.
• Offer fixed width pages when the user screen resolution is detected over 1280pixel wide.
  This now makes sense because wide screen monitors are becoming very popular.
  20" widescreen monitor has a 1680 pixel count horizontally. It is our view that widescreen is good for movies, but it can be hard for users to browse text based pages.
• Implemented "sticky" sub-category and "sticky" manufacturer. Subcategories and manufacturers are now "sticky" once selected. eg. when customers select "Asus" under the computer system category, "Asus" will be kept as the selection for the manufacturer. Now if the customers select "Notebook" subcategory. The result will include only Asus Notebooks. "Sticky" selection can be unstuck simply by a click of a button. Each time something is "Sticky", a unstuck button will appear.

Dear customers,

We have been undergoing beta testing for our new Eyo Dropshipping web site at: http://www.retailing.com.au/
Eyo Dropshipping web site will list many more products than our original web site. The main difference between Eyo and Eyo Dropshipping web sites are:

1. We intend to carry and stock the items listed under Eyo site. We do not intend to carry products listed on our Dropshipping web site.
2. Products listed under Eyo site will be despatched from Eyo warehouse.
3. Products listed under Eyo Dropshipping web site will be despatched from our suppliers' warehouse.
4. There are overlapping products between two sites. We will endeavour to synchronize two sites for product information and price.
