No, the want it section was discontinued by eBay.
You can however save a search and be notified if anyone lists one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create a listing saying that I'm seeking a particular item?
No. Want ads are prohibited on our site.
It's spelt out even more clearly with the following from that policy:
Not allowed
Additionally, it's not something you'd want to do on the Community boards here, as it would be viewed askance. Quoting from the Community Content Policy,
Not allowed
Here are some examples of content or actions that aren't permitted in the community content areas (Reviews, Guides, member-created product descriptions and comments). These examples provide guidance for self-publishing content on our site but shouldn't be viewed as a complete list.
What you can do, though, is set up a saved search. Quoting:
If you frequently search for the same types of items on eBay, you can save time by creating saved searches. These are also known as followed searches.
We'll send you email alerts when new items matching your saved search are listed. If you're logged in, your searches will also appear in your feed.
How to save searches
Create a saved search by selecting Save this search on the search results page.
To view the listings in the searches you follow, just:
I hope that helps!
