Ebay has made some updates to include a number of features designed to help the ebayer um... buy stuff.
So the first change includes a diversification of the watch list.
Personally, I love the watch list, it shows me everything I'm GOING to buy. And it always seems to work out that I do manage to buy most of the things on my watch list.
Now we have some new lists:
Watch List (existing)
Gift Ideas (new)
Research (new)
Wish List (new)
So when you find an item you like/love, and you "add to list", you now have a choice:
For me, my watch list IS my wish list but... I can dig it.
The gift ideas list is a great addition - you can be super organised when it comes to birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas. This is a feature I will be using frequently.
Research is an interesting one. I thought I was the only person who did research on ebay. Apparently not. I will no doubt use this section as well. This section is appropriate for forming an opinion about a type of product or category. For example, "Windows 7". You can compare prices, types/versions (eg. home, professional) , features etc. before you make your final decision. The research section will be handy for those items that I will be purchasing in the future.
I love the idea of breaking up lists into categories. Too many times I have found myself with 50 watched items and no idea where to start. Now the items can be broken down into bite sized pieces. You can also create your own customised lists (say, the name of a gift recipient or a category). I can see myself having a bit of fun with this!
