eBay Map It: Will "Map It" Be Permanent On eBay

The new eBay Map It service is apparently a test by eBay to see if it will boost sales. It's truly focused on items that are geographically desirable, like furniture, boats, cars and other large items. Let's say I'm looking for a piece of antique furniture. I want to check out eBay first in the hopes that I can grab up a bargain ...

Voila! According to Map It there are 15 armoires in my area. Not only can I see pictures, prices, etc., but I also get a map that shows me their location. All I need to do is talk with the seller and go take a look at my possible new acquisition.

This is experimental and there is a suggestion box that allows us to give eBay our opinion. Personally, I like it and if you do, too, let them know so they'll keep it around.
