Now that "Buy it Now" has been implemented, I thought it might be interesting to track the number of listings using it.

These are numbers from title and description search for the exact phrases at eBay official time 17:04:11 PST:

"Buy it Now" - 473
"First Bid Wins" - 591

Title search only:

"Buy it Now" - 30
"First Bid Wins" - 239

It will be interesting to see where the numbers go...

I checked and think I found the most listings under "1st Bid Wins," which is shorter in the title than First Bid Wins.

Bet half of those posting are Yahoo people, we have learn how well 1st Bid Wins, works - of course it is FREE on Yahoo -

eBay touted this as FREE - which I thought they meant the listing would be free - (what a stupid fool I am) - but see that in time they will be charging for listing in this manor - typical GREEDBAY!

I'm doing some minor testing of the eBay "Buy Now" Price format - we will see how it goes.....it will have to work really great for me to pay to use the feature.
