"Want It Now" section on eBay

I've just checked my ebay thingy, and noticed the above announcement.

Brilliant idea or not?

I've wondered why they didn't do this before, unless it was open to abuse?

Anyway, there you go :D

    I checked it out divadee and it looks like it was announced today but there's some requests dated late February :confused:

    It must help sellers to look for their market so to speak?

    But as a buyer that wants specifics, I'll be using it :D

    I think I might have bought them all before that happens ;) Or it might just throw up a 10p toy BNIB that the bloke next door will chuck over the fence :D

    Let me know if it's any good please?

    Thanks.

    Well it is new to eBay UK - it only used to be on eBay USA. Should be a good addition. :)
    The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)

    It must be better mustn't it JPS? Especially for newbies like me :D

    Maybe more people might start selling though if they see a market for something they have? Looks good to me all the same.

    Yeah JPS is right, it has been live on the USA site for some time now ;)

    Its a good idea in theory but quite hard to sift thru the masses of requests and its still relatively new so guess its lust gonna get harder!!
