I have very mixed feelings about the new gig layout. On one hand, I like it because buyers can't play the dumb role about "how to order", especially when it comes to gig extras. On the other hand, I think the three "order now" buttons are a recipe for disaster. In V1, I had quite a few cancellations because people supposedly ordered my gig by accident, and there was only one button then. Imagine what its going to be like with three "order" buttons on one page. Think about the people using this so-called mobile-friendly version (a bit sluggish by the way). Scrolling on a touch screen is already challenging on its own, now buyers' fingers has to dodge three buttons when browsing gigs via their mobile device. I just see an accident waiting to happen, and I'll be the one to suffer, seeing how the cancellation will still count against me even though its not my fault. I don't know if there's a confirmation popup or not, but if its not, there's going to be an "accident order" epidemic once V2 is official. That's just my opinion/theory.
