We have discontinued using the include checkout button when listing auctions as the section was so wide it was not readable on any of our auctions , please try and fix this.

Hi. Just surfing to learn what I can while my own dilemma is being worked on...
The problem is not the button. The problem is the layout. The instructions are centered well in the left 2/3 of the page and the button is at the far right of the page. Most folks' browsers are not set up to view a full page without alot of scrolling around-- they only see the left 2/3 of the page. Without any arrows or dot trail pointing anywhere, the nicely centered text layout on the left looks complete and it is not obvious there is a button on the right to go looking for.
I try to fix that by giving instructions in my listings about the button appearing on the closed listing page and how to check out with it so they know to go looking for it, and I keep all the important info of my listing on the left 2/3 of the page.
The button needs to stay the same but be moved adjacent to the instructions and all of it kept on the left. A piece of clip art could occupy the place where the button is now if symmetry is needed so there's someting fun to look at if anyone ever finds it.
Thank you for your feedback on this issue. I will pass along your suggestion to see if there is something we can do to make the checkout button more visible.
