ebay "want it now" option

interesting.

i wonder how well this will work.

i also wonder how many want-a-gf-now ads will be posted 😛
 
<pessimistic> seems like a good tool for scammers. ebay users are dumb enough without having a tool that tells other people what they'll pay large amounts of $ for </pessimistic>

<optimistic> awesome for those that have wanted something like this though </optimistic>
 
Great, so we'll go from people selling their kidney, their virginity, or their cheese sandwich that has the face of the Virgin Mary on it to people "wanting it now" a kidney, somebody's virginity, or somebody's cheese sandwich that has the face of the Virgin Mary on it.

I'm sure the Associated Press and al-Reuters will be right on top of that!

I dunno... if I want to sell something, I'll put it on ebay. I feel less inclined to scan the "want it now"'s to see if someone's looking for it.
 
Many don't realize, this is actually the return of a feature they had once upon a time, although less organized. It went to sh!t very quickly considering these were the days that you didn't even have to register to post, or even bid (binding contract, my ass! 😀).

They really should implement a 1-strike-youre-out rule for spam, or maybe even a fine straight to the user acct for misuse of the eBay site (I think they require a CC on file at signup these days). That is exactly how the wanted list feature died the first time around.
