With Want It Now, buyers can now tell sellers exactly what they are looking for when they are unable to find it on the site. Sellers can then browse through these requests to find buyers for their items, as well as get new ideas for what items are in demand.

Buyers: Creating a Want It Now post
When buyers search for an item and receive a low number of results, they will be offered the option of creating a Want It Now post on the Want It Now specialty site. You can also go directly to the Want It Now specialty site from the homepage to create a post. To post to Want It Now, you must have at least 5 feedback or a credit card on file. Want It Now posts are anonymous, and no identifying information will be displayed.

Sellers: Responding to a Want It Now post
Any member can browse Want It Now posts. If a Want It Now post matches a listing on the site that you know about, you can use the Respond function to alert the buyer. The buyer will receive an anonymous email instructing them how to view the item on the site.

Listing an Item that matches a Want It Now post
Sellers who discover a Want It Now post for an item that they have but haven’t listed will be able to access the Sell Your Item form directly from the Want It Now post. Once the listing is complete, simply click on Respond to send the listing anonymously to the potential buyer (items listed via this method will be available to everyone, exactly like a regular listing on the site). Want It Now is a great new way to help buyers find what they want and to help sellers find the right buyers.
