Has anyone else noticed that the "want it now" on ebay seems to have disappeared? Can't get at it through links or favorites, it just goes straight on to the home page. It seems that you can still create a post, but you can't browse them!?

  • I have a feeling it is finished. It is no longer available on a lot of the major international sites and as you say, all the links are broken or redirected to the home page. There hasn't been an announcement that I have seen, but then eBay are pretty mental with some things. Perhaps if you emailed their 'helpful' customer support reps they can say for sure. I stopped using this service years ago as it was a) difficult to navigate and b) deliberately unadvertised by eBay as I suppose it encouraged 'off-site' and therefore unprofitable trading for them.

    For similar styled ads, you might be better with Pre-Loved

    That's a shame if it has finished - I used to have a quick look through to see if there were any "wants" that were in my piles of "to sell" - it was more of an incentive for me to actually pull my finger out and get stuff listed:).
