Isn’t it frustrating when you’re trying to buy something unusual or special and just can’t find it anywhere on the internet or on eBay? Well, eBay has recently introduced a new feature - Want It Now

 

Want It Now is an eBay facility that enables buyers to post requests for items that they want and for sellers to send item listings that match up with a buyer’s request.

Creating a Want it Now post is very easy and describes just what you’re looking for, so that millions of eBay sellers will see your request and an email will be sent to you when a seller has a matching item.

To give you an idea of what Want It Now postings look like, here are a couple of examples:-

 

Title: Grahan Farish / Bachmann n Gauge model locomotive

 

Description: I want to expand my model railway collection and am looking for a Cat No 371926  57xx class 0-6-0 pannier tank loco. no 6752 in GWR green. Must be an excellent runner and in as-new condition, boxed. My price range is £10 - £35. Thanks!


Category: Collectables Trains/ Railway Models 

 

 

Here’s another example:-

 

Title: Gucci Sunglasses – must be genuine


Description: I’m going on holiday in June and want a pair of Gucci sunglasses, preferably the 2561s in green but willing to consider other colours in this range. No copies please – must be 100% original Gucci with case and Gucci certificate.

Try to be as specific as possible in your title and description as this will help sellers find your Want it Now advert and match what they have to your requirement. Also, try to avoid the temptation to use phrases like "L@@K here" and all capitals such as “WANT A REAL BARGAIN DEAL” etc. in an effort to attract attention. Phrases like those don’t really help sellers to find your post – far better to keep it straightforward and factual.

 

For the benefit and protection of all buyers and sellers, eBay imposes some fairly strict rules and policies. You can only post “Want It Now” adverts in the Want It Now area of the site and they have to comply with all usual eBay policies and also some specific guidelines for Want It Now postings.
