Ebay: Want it now?

Does anyone use this feature? And more importantly, has anyone had a result from it?

    I used it once and got a result fairly quickly - an obscure poster not available in the UK. Someone from the US sent me a message and they had about 50 on sale... not sure if I'd just failed to spot them, or if they hadn't showed up, or if he'd only just listed them!
    My TV is broken! :cry:

    I've used it half a dozen times, and had no response at all.

    i have used it a couple of times. I use it for tall jeans, cause I am a UK size 8, but have stupidly long 36" legs, so it can be a struggle to get jeans (although more shops are stocking them now) So i often post on want it now for extra long jeans, but get people sending me links to jeans with a 30" leg etc... i give up!

    I used it once, and got some very scammy responses.

    I'd just like to express unreasonable jealousy of the combination of size 8 and long legs.

    I know it's not on topic, but I'm the OP! I have 38" inseam and get most of my clothes new off of Ebay US, do you do that too? Or do you prefer to buy from UK sellers?

    I used it once, posting a request for a specific pair of boots in a specific size. Received reponses for all different sizes and styles :rolleyes:
    Haven't used it since.

    Are you male or female? I have never purchased clothes from the US, never thought about it really! Well i get most of my jeans from top shop or new look! although if you are a mle then that is no use to you lol.
    Is there any particular ebay shops you use on the US site for tall jeans... if so could you please pm me them? Thanks

    Lol Thankyou Wendy, although the long legs aren't as good to have as you may think! Certainly not when it comes to money saving anyways! hehe x
