Place Want ads on eBay

Wanted: your ad on eBay | Tech News on ZDNet

Online auctioneer eBay introduced a new feature that allows customers to post want ads for items they are looking to buy on its Web site.

The launch of the "Want It Now" feature represents a departure from eBay's traditional setup, which allowed people to search the auctioneer's listings, but didn't give them the opportunity to display what sort of products they were looking to purchase.

The company also created a tool that allows individuals selling products on eBay to search the want ads and find buyers who might be interested in their auctions.

Using the system, registered eBay users can place a 30-day ad that describes what goods they would like to buy. The system gives anyone searching the postings access to the buyer's background information, such as their community feedback rating and geographical location. The tool does not give sellers direct access to customers' account names, but instead allows them to e-mail information on specific auctions to an eBay member, while keeping the potential buyer's screen name anonymous.
