Maybe Ebay should put back it's WANT IT NOW feature somewhere on their site.

Alas, it seams to have been abandoned, which is a pity.

You can ask sellers one by one, although some may Block questions from potential customers. A dumb move, but their perogative.

The Want It Now was so little used by sellers that it probably wasn't worth the bandwidth to operate it. Lots of spam from both "buyers" and "sellers'.
