Buycycle — Pricing quality indicator

A case study for Buycycle — helping buyers find great value on a circular marketplace through clearer pricing signals and quality indicators. I focused on pricing UX and buyer-side trust: making value legible at a glance without adding noise to the listing experience.

Buycycle case study overview

Scope

Define how buyers evaluate deal quality on second-hand listings — surfacing fair price, condition, and confidence signals in the browse and detail flows.

Scope — problem framing and buyer journey

Design process

Research into buyer mental models, competitive patterns, and marketplace heuristics informed wireframes and UI iterations. I prototyped indicator treatments and tested clarity with stakeholders before refining visual hierarchy and copy.

Design process — exploration and iteration

Outcome

  • Pricing quality indicator concept validated for buyer clarity
  • Reduced ambiguity when comparing listings at a glance
  • Foundation for rollout across marketplace surfaces
Outcome — final pricing indicator experience
