I used to look off-and-on, but it's been a while. I've posted there, too (looking for CDs) but never got a response.

One post I saw did make me shake my head a little - they, too, were looking for a certain CD, had stated a price range along with a very excitable (i.e caps & exclamation marks) warning to potential sellers that they knew what it was worth so don't even think about trying to rip them off. So inviting. :8}

yes, I do check it out every week, occasionally I have a book a magazine a badge or a pattern someone is looking for.

I check it now and then but I found the same thing where posters wanted items at very low prices.

There where a number of regular posters on this site and another that where asking for items of high value that where worth $500 or more that they where willing to pay $50 for.

So you might also wonder how many members might have being "ripped" off by these "generous buyers" that where posting in Want it Now.

Nope

Used to look but I never saw one single ad for anything I had in stock so never bother anymore.

I checked every category link on the Want it Now page (http://pages.ebay.com.au/wantitnow/index.html) and they all lead directly back to the ebay.com.au home page. I tried this today - 6.10.2012. Anyone know why this is?

it's gone - there have been other posts about this - ebay has discontinued it

It was there a few weeks ago. I check about once a month and went to have a look today and it is gone??

I also heard ebay were discontinuing want it now, in Australia at least.

In true ebay style

....you can still post an item on want it now.......

check the link and click on post an ad now

http://pages.ebay.com.au/wantitnow/index.html?rt=nc

Unfortunately inquisitive suppliers/sellers cannot access the ads to find out what the buyer is looking for as they are redirected to the ebay home page....

I have posted some absolute "I am looking for a" want it now doozies over the last 3 weeks or so that want it now has been broken.....

I dread the day they actually fix it in case somebody reads my ads and can supply  a "left handed skyhook in Azure", a bottle of "get up and go" cause mine got up and left or " Urgent 3 dozen donut holes.. have heaps of dough...name your price"
