When auction participants who have PayPal or Amazon Payments set as their default Method of Payment, they
are required to pay for their winnings within 7 days (168 hours) of the auction ending time. When they do not, those
orders will be cancelled and the item placed into a “hold” status.............................................................................. 136

1.1
Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define the Business Requirements (the “vision”) for the JTV auction
platform on www.jtvauctions.com. Components of the platform covered include the consumer-facing
auction site, auction management functions, and reporting (site metrics, merchandising / inventory, and
sales).
It is intended to be a flexible, “living document”, and will change and expand throughout the development
of the platform, as work is completed in multiple sprints and releases. For now, its primary purpose is to
identify the platform’s high-level features and minimum functional requirements.
1.2
Background and Goals
JTV recognizes the value of its auction business and the potential opportunities that a world-class auction
platform can provide. Consequently, JTV has set the following near and long-term strategic and tactical
objectives. Our goal is to build the best business-to-consumer auction site on Earth.
One significant reason we need a new auction site is that our current site compares poorly to Bidz.com
and others. In order for us to take market share away from Bidz.com, we need an auction platform that
offers advantages to our customers that Bidz.com does not. The platform as outlined in this BRD will do
that.
1.3
Near-term Objectives
The near-term objectives include:


Easily navigable by new users, with strong drill-down capabilities.

Integrates into existing systems and tools (Order Pipeline, Omniture, Microstrategy, Jupiter, WMS,
etc).

Has powerful, but easy-to-use, administrative and scheduling tools.

Is cosmetically attractive, but designed with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) in mind.

Ability to scale to and handle large numbers of auctions per day (in the thousands).

1.4
A stable site with maximum uptime, eliminating many existing issues.
Has a wide variety of features that customers have asked for, including (but not limited to)
alternative payment methods, comprehensive bidding histories, watch lists, dynamically updated
bidding and timing data, complete product detail information, and more.
Long-term Strategic Objectives

International auction capabilities.

The longer-term objective is to have an auction platform which can share multiple sources of
inventory (from multiple retailers, not a consumer-to-consumer model) among multiple, separatelybranded auction sites or storefronts. For example, Zales, ICE.com, and JTV could all supply
jewelry to the same site. See the Future Enhancements section for details.

End Users
5.1.1
Creating an Account
As a site user, I want to be able to create an account as quickly as possible, know that my data is
secure, and have access to my preferred payment type. I’d like to be able to enter only what is
necessary to start bidding, then come back and finish the process later, so that I don’t miss out on a
last-second bidding opportunity.

6.1
Auction Site Pages
Home Page
6.1.1
General Requirements

Global site header & footer.

SEO Plan (Page should be designed in accordance with SEO best practices). Title tags: “JTV
Auctions: Jewelry, Colored Gemstones, Diamonds, Online Auctions”.

Endeca navigation section will appear on the left side of the page, in a “semi-expanded” state,
below the canned search button stack. See the homepage mockup at the end of section 5.1.
Also see the navigation hierarchy at the end of section six.

The site should provide a personalized greeting whenever the user comes back, even before
they sign in.
6.1.2
“Canned Search” Button Section

These will be in the upper left-hand corner of the page, immediately below the text bar, in a
“stack” of buttons.

Closing Soon button (brings up catalog page of soon-to-close items; it should FIRST display
any items in the user's current bid list or watch list. This button will be at the top of the “stack”.

Hot Items button (brings up page of 12 hottest items [i.e. Items with most bids and lowest
current gross margin]).

Recently Ended button (brings up separate page for customer reference; it shows items
closed within past 24 hours. See 5.17)

Newly Listed Items button should use a cookied solution, and only display items added since
the last user sign-in. (If this can't be done, then it should list items that were added within the
past 24 hours). Show items in order, newest to oldest.

Lowest Bid button will list all available items, sorted by current bid, lowest to highest.

Upcoming Items button (brings up list/page of scheduled but not yet available items).
6.1.3
Today’s Top Auctions Product Module Section

A horizontal row of current jewelry auctions will appear at the top of the page, just below the
promotional text bar. It will consist of four (4) “product modules”. Each product module is an
AJAX module that enables real-time updates and live bidding on the item. Each product
module includes a thumbnail image, a short product description, the current price, and a bid
button. The short description field from the SKU Creation application will be used (The “On-Air
Description”). [100 characters maximum]

The horizontal row of product modules will appear directly below a “Headline” (using <H1>
tags, for SEO) that will say, “Today’s Top Jewelry Auctions”. When clicked on, it will have the
same on-click action as the “Hot Items” button.

Directly below the jewelry headline and product module section, there will be a duplicate
section for loose gemstone product. The headline/title will be “Today’s Top Gemstone
Auctions”.
PAGE 16 OF 145 Jtvauctions_Brd_V3.1 (1)


The platform will execute an algorithm which will populate these eight (8) product modules. It
will function essentially as follows:
1. It will evaluate all current Jewelry auctions in order to populate the four (4) product
modules, and separately evaluate all current gemstone auctions in order to
populate the four (4) gemstone product modules.
2. The first criterion will limit eligible items to those that will close within the next hour.
Once an item is chosen to populate a product module, it will remain in that position
until the auction closes.
3. The second criterion will be “number of bidders.” Items with zero or one bidders will
be excluded from eligibility. It is assumed that there will usually, if not always, be a
significant quantity of items with two or more bidders with less than one hour
remaining before the auction ends.
4. The algorithm should now rank the eligible items according to currently projected
gross margin dollars if the auction were to end “right now,” with the four items
having the lowest projected gross margin dollar earnings ranking the highest.
5. These four items will populate the four product modules.
6. In the future, the algorithm might be modified to look at a stored value (possibly in a
cookie?) which classifies the user as primarily either a gemstone or a jewelry
customer. If the customer can be so identified, the system will serve (for example),
eight (8) gemstones in the product modules and zero jewelry items.
6.1.4
Promotional Spots

The home page will host two promotional spots. See the mockup below for visual example.

The top spot will be smaller (shorter), and will be similar in size to the current “Gemstone of the
Week promotional banner.

The bottom spot will be larger, and support promotional events such as “Lunchtime Lunacy”.

Content will be populated from the CMA.
6.1.5
Category Links

The homepage will include four (4) boxes (similar to the current JTVauctions site) which
contain images and links to:

Jewelry Auctions

Watch Auctions

Gemstone Auctions

“Learn About Auctions”. This box will include a link to the permanent Survey Monkey online
survey. The other links will link to the Help & FAQ page

6.2
Category “Browse” Pages / Search Result Pages
6.2.1
General Requirements

Global site header & footer.

Navigational bread crumb trail at top of page, similar to Demandware's.

Drill-down capabilities are defined in the navigation section. Endeca navigation section will
appear on the left side of the page. On these pages, Endeca will appear in an expanded state.
See sections 5.2.6 & 5.2.7 for visuals.

Multiple page templates, depending on the user’s initial click action (gemstones, jewelry,
watches, jeweler supplies, and collectibles). Each template will have different title tags and
frequently-searched text at the bottom for SEO.

Closed Items. Items that are closed will be removed within 1 minute (or whatever interval, as
chosen in the global settings by the "Auctioneer".)

No product will ever be eligible to appear on a product details page, search results, or catalog
page if it does not have an available image to display.
6.2.2

Product Modules
Product Modules are the “heart and soul” of this page. Each product module, in the catalog
page view, will include:





Thumbnail image,
short description (from the short description field in the JTV SKU Creation application
(the “On-Air Description”),
a countdown timer showing the time remaining,
the current high bid, and
a “QuickBid” button.

The Product Module in the List View is the same, except it also has the “SmartBid” button, and
is laid out horizontally.

The countdown timer will show days, hours, minutes, and seconds in D:HH:MM:SS format).
This must be in prominent red text.

The QuickBid Button, when clicked, automatically enters a single bid (higher than the current
bid, in accordance with the next highest bid as determined by the displayed bid increment). If
the user is not signed in, the user will be prompted to sign in, then returned to the catalog
page. WE SHOULD TRADEMARK THE QUICKBID BUTTON.

Current High Bid. All items should show the current high bid, dynamically, without the need
to refresh the page.

On-Click behavior:

Clicking anywhere within the product module will take the user to the Product Details
(bidding) page, with the exception of clicking on the QuickBid button. If the user is not
signed in, the user will be presented with a sign-in page, complete the sign-in process,
and then the user will be delivered to the Product Details page.

Clicking on the QuickBid button actually places a “QuickBid”, unless the user is not
signed in.
PAGE 19 OF 145 Jtvauctions_Brd_V3.1 (1)


6.2.3
On Mouseover behavior: If the user “mouses over” the item’s thumbnail image, the large
size image (533 x 400, from the Product Details page) should appear, along with the Product
ID (SKU number).
Page Navigation

Upon choosing a top-level category (jewelry, gemstones, jeweler supplies, watches, or
collectibles), or one of the “canned search” buttons from the home page (Hot Items, Newly
Listed, etc), a category page with appropriate product will be displayed.

A dropdown sort by: list will give the user the following sort options:






Ending Soon (in order, ending soonest, etc)
Just Listed (in order, most recent to older)
# of Bids (High to Low)
# of Bids (Low to High)
Current Price (High to Low)
Current Price (Low to High)

A “Items Per Page” dropdown list: Default = 40. User options: 40, 80, 120. Will appear at both
top and bottom of the page.

A “Go To Page” dropdown list will include as many page numbers as needed. Will appear at
both top and bottom of the page.

Previous and Next page links with arrow icons will appear at the top and bottom of the page.
6.2.4
SEO Plan

Page should be designed in accordance with SEO best practices.

There should be multiple page templates, depending on the user’s first click. For example, if
the user first clicked on “Gemstones” from the homepage, then the “Gemstones” page
template should be served. This page would have different text and title tags than the “Jewelry”
page; similarly different from the “Jeweler Supplies” , “Collectibles”, and “Watches” pages.

Title tags for the Jewelry category page: “JTV Online Jewelry Auctions: Rings, Earrings,
Necklaces, Bracelets, Pendants, Silver Jewelry, Gold Jewelry”.

Title tags for the Gemstone category page: “JTV Online Gemstone Auctions: Diamond, Ruby,
Sapphire, Emerald, Tanzanite, Peridot, Garnet, & Topaz Loose Gemstone Auctions”.

Title tags for the Watches category page: “JTV Online Watch Auctions: Men’s Watches,
Women’s Watches, Croton, Citizen, Oceanaut Watches”.
6.2.5
Category Page “Views”

The user will have two “Views” to choose from:

A “List View”.

A typical “Catalog View”.

All category page items will include a thumbnail image; both in list view and catalog view.

Content of each page type will be the same, with one exception: the List View will also include
“SmartBid” buttons.

6.3
Product Details Pages (Bidding pages)
6.3.1
General Requirements

Global site header & footer.

Navigation breadcrumb trail at top of page.

“Back to List of Auctions” button/link

“Add to My Watch List” button.

“Send to a Friend” button / capability. This would be a button similar to the Add to My Watch
List button, and be in close proximity to it. This would generate a mailto: action, and send the
item number, auction number, sender name and email address, and page URL to the
recipient.

Recently Viewed Items list (a strip of thumbnails & item numbers showing last five items
viewed).

NOTE: On this page, the Endeca left nav is deliberately omitted. This is because the customer
has, by this point, determined what they want to look it, so the full space is dedicated to the
chosen product. This is similar to both Ebay and Overstock.com. The page should include a
“Back to List of Auctions” button/link. This will have the same effect as clicking one level back
on the breadcrumb trail.

Overtime Bidding: The site must support “Overtime bidding” (“bid extend“ / “popcorn
bidding”) functionality, which will be configured by the Auctioneer in the Auction Admin
application.

Buy It Now! Functionality. (Phase 2, if necessary)

No product will ever be eligible to appear on a product details page, search results, or catalog
page if it does not have an available image to display.
6.3.2
Product Detail Section

Product Title / Short Description (from SKU Creation application)

Product Description / Specifications (from SKU Creation application. 1000 character limitation)

Other Product Details product attribute fields (from SKU Creation application). The labels and
fields displayed will depend on the product type (i.e., loose gemstone, ring, necklace, etc).
Important product types (Single stone, rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants,
watches) will display the particular product fields as shown below in the Product Details by
Product Attributes tables. (Section 5.3.6).

No product attribute field label should appear if the value is NULL.

The “Gemstone Treatment” field will always be visible for all gemstone category products, and
for any jewelry products that contain a gemstone value. The field label will be linked to the
following page on JTV.com: http://learning.jewelrytelevision.com/article/gem-enhancementsand-care.aspx? . The field label will be underlined.

Product Image. (295 x 221 pix - same size as current product image) (clicking or mousing over
brings up larger 533 x 400 image)

Ability to show multiple images, if existing. Thumbnails below image area (similar to JTV.com).

Item Product ID (SKU number).
PAGE 23 OF 145 Jtvauctions_Brd_V3.1 (1)

Bidding Section

Clearly defined (delineated) from the product details area.

Current winning bid.

Statement: “Overtime Bidding is ON”. (hyperlink to definition popup)

Opening bid.

Bid increment.

Countdown clock – show remaining days:hours:minutes until the auction closes. This must be
“live” – i.e., dynamic.

“QuickBid Now” button. This bid would quickly place a single (not a max bid) bid, adding the
stated bid increment to the last bid. There will be a question mark icon/link next to the button;
users who click on it will be taken to the paragraph on the FAQ page that explains QuickBids.

“SmartBid” field and button. SmartBid provides users with the ability to set a maximum bid
amount and have the system bid for them automatically (according to the minimum bid
increment) until they win the auction or meet their maximum bid. Need bid confirmation popup.
Possible SmartBid amounts are listed in a dropdown list. After placing and confirming their bid,
the user will remain on the bidding page. There will be a question mark icon/link next to the
button; users who click on it will be taken to the paragraph on the FAQ page that explains
SmartBids.

Bid Confirmation Pop-up: When customers bid from this page, a bid confirmation pop-up
message will appear, telling the customer that they have just bid “$XX, using a “[type] bid”. For
example, “You are bidding $30 for this item using a SmartBid, on a card ending in 6744. Is this
correct?” [Yes, Place SmartBid / Cancel buttons]. When this popup appears, the rest of the
page will be grayed out and “unclickable”. See the visual representation in section 5.3.5.

Checkbox: There will be a “I want to be notified by email when my bid is exceeded”. “Notified
by email” will be hyperlinked. Clicking on this link will result in a popup DIV layer with
messaging from the FAQ page explaining to the participant how they can ensure receipt of
these emails.

After-Bid Behavior: After the user confirms their bid, they will remain on the product details
page.

Before allowing a bid to be placed, the system will check the bidder’s sign-in status. If the
bidder has not signed in, the system will take the bidder directly to the sign-in page. If the user
has the required minimum information required to bid, the system will return the bidder to the
product details page of the item they initially tried to bid on.

Item Bid History. Shows bidder member IDs, bid amounts & times. There will be an indicator
telling all users if someone is using “SmartBids”, with a link explaining what that is, and why
they should also use it. This section will display the most recent bids on top (show a maximum
of 25 bids.)

In the bid history, the date/time stamp used for computer-generated SmartBids should be the
date/time that the computer placed the last bid, not the date/time that the participant placed the
original SmartBid.

Phase 2: Member IDs are linked to their city/state. Member ID can be clicked on to show what
city/state bidder is bidding from. (Cool feature…)

Live Bid. Bidding information dynamically streamed includes Time Remaining, Current Bids,
Placing Bids, and Bidder User Name. Java Flash Plug-in for auction platform to provide "real
time" bidding experience. This Flash application re-creates the feel of a "live auction" by
PAGE 25 OF 145 Jtvauctions_Brd_V3.1 (1)

streaming into the customers' browsers all relevant bidding information for the customers to
follow, manage, and place bids on specific products without refreshing their browser.

Legal notice – Prominently highlighted. Text: “Please Note: When you place a bid, you are
entering into a legally binding contract. If you are the winning bidder, you must pay for the
item(s) upon receipt of the “winning notification” e-mail. Non-payment of winning bids may
result in suspension and/or termination of your bidding privileges. We ask you to please bid
only on items that you intend to purchase. “

Page Elements


member ID and PW. The ID & PW fields will be extra large (keeping in mind our customer
demographic).

Sign in Process

System must not allow closed or suspended accounts to sign in. If a user’s account is closed
or suspended, a popup message will appear, telling the user: “We’re sorry, this account has
been closed [suspended]. If you believe this is an error, please call or email Customer Care at
(800) 123-4567 or Auctions@jtv.com.

The site should provide a personalized greeting whenever the user comes back, even before
they sign in.

Users may sign in using either their member ID (their “handle”) or their email address.

Each time a user signs in, the system should check the default payment type. If the default
payment type is PayPal or Amazon Payments; the system lets the user sign in and proceed.

If the default payment method is a credit card on file, the system should verify the credit card
expiration date. If it is expired, the system will display a DIV layer that prompts the user to enter
a new credit card. The “Yes” link will take the user to the My Account Edit page 3. The “No”
button will take the user to the home page. The DIV will gray-out the page. See the DIV
mockup below.

If the default payment type is PayPal or Amazon Payments, the system will check for unpaid
auction winnings. If there are unpaid auction winnings, the system will serve up the “Winnings
Alert” sidewide text bar, which notifies the user that she has unpaid winnings, and provides a
link to the “Returning Winners Payments” page.

If the user hasn’t signed in within the past 3 months, the system should “ping” the card on file
by sending an authorization request to validate the card before allowing the customer to bid. If
the user has completed an auction purchase within the past three months, that will count as a
“validation”. PENDING LEGAL APPROVAL; IF APPROVED, THIS WILL NEED TO BE
ADDED TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

6.7.7
Registration Process and Duplicate Accounts

The registration process must include some type of data validation technique that reduces
duplicate account creation (much of which is intentional by our customers). Suggestion: check
for multiple fields, such as a combination of first name, last name, and street address. If they
are the same, inform customer that an account already exists for a customer with this name
and address, and offer to send sign in information to the email address on file for that account.

No two accounts may use the same email address. If a registrant tries to create a new account
using an existing email address, the system will generate a response notifying the registrant
that the email address is already in use, and ask the registrant if they need to reset the
PAGE 43 OF 145 Jtvauctions_Brd_V3.1 (1)

password for that account. If the user indicates “yes”, the system will generate an email to the
email address, with a temporary password that the user should be advised to change.

We need to have a risk-management addition made to the JTVauctions.com registration
process. When a NEW customer tries to create a new JTVauctions.com account, the
Consumer Protection negative file should be cross-referenced before the NEW account can
be successfully established. This will prevent undesirable customers (whose previous
accounts have been closed by us) from opening new accounts and engaging in shill bidding.
In the event of a match to the negative file, the registrant should receive a message that states,
“We are sorry, we are unable to create an auction account for you at this time. If you believe
this message to be in error, please contact our Customer Service team at: 800-550-8393.”


Page will include specific <Description> tags (content TBD)

The text content will contain links to the product category. For example, the tanzanite page would
include one link taking the user to all loose tanzanite stones. Another link would take the user to all
tanzanite rings, all tanzanite necklaces, and so on.

We might consider copying selected articles from the Learning Library in some SEO landing pages
– to be discussed. Or, we might develop content specific to this page. For example, a brief article
explaining the differences between 10K, 14K, and 24K gold would work well. (See GIA AJP
training materials).

We’d like to find a way to be able have the Auctioneer publish content to these pages, in the form
of comments taken from online customer surveys.

Some of these pages may contain general product information about the stone type, the metal
type, buying considerations (“what to look for”).

Contains links to the JTV Learning Library.

Promotional text bar (collapsible if empty). The text bar will also serve an important function as an
“Alert Message” bar to auction participants who are PayPal and/or Amazon Payments users.
When these customers have unpaid auction winnings, the promo text bar will disappear and be
replaced with action-oriented messaging (actual text TBD), encouraging the participant to pay for
their previous winnings now. Clicking on this text bar takes the user to the “Returning Winners
page.” See the mockup below for visual example.
