Add buy or bid now buttons to watch list.

[bykimbo]

I'm a big believer in making buying as easy as possible, and catching the spending impulse... even when it's me buying.

Looked at a few items, then added them to my watch list while I haggled with the seller. When we'd agreed a price I headed for the watch list and it occurred to me it would have been neater if there was a "buy now" button on each item that was still available (and/or "bid now" as appropriate).

It only took a moment to go into the listing and purchase, but as I said at the top - anything that captures that impulse purchase is good.

Thanks.

Just giving this a bit of a wave about.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

No one can make you do anything. But there's no reason for them to quit trying to make it easier for you to give more to them if the spirit moves you.

The lightbulb brightens. At first I didn't know what you were proposing. Finally it focused: "buy now" and "bid now" buttons could appear within the link to each item that you have on your WATCHING list. This would save you having to go to the items' full, individual listing pages.

It would also be helpful to show shipping charges for these items on the watching page.
