It is located at the top of the window pane, and the item's detail page layer is located at the bottom of the window pane page, which is confusing when selecting each item of the option if the layers providing these two information are not displayed within a window. There may be room. In other words, in order to obtain information on the options available after selecting a product, the buyer must scroll down the screen using a user interface such as a mouse to move to the bottom of the page, and then browse the information in the details page of the item and select the desired item. Make your decision and go back to the top of the page to enter the option items you are willing to buy in the options layer. In this case, you do not enter the intent to buy for a particular option while looking directly at the option information, so you are at risk of entering a different intent to buy and your choice is correct. You must take the inconvenience of going to the details page layer.

In addition, when the option item is selected incorrectly and proceeds to the payment stage, there is a fear of dissatisfaction and return, and in this case, most of the items are returned to the responsibility of the buyer who incorrectly set the item.
