Terrible idea. Of the 5 filters in the drop down box for searches New Listings is the one that buyers are least likely to use. I am not sure if I ever used that option in 25 years of using ebay and I do hundreds of searches a day.
The only people searching for new listings are looking for pricing errors or extremely underpriced items. If you are pricing your items correctly then they aren't selling off a new listings search.
Nope not a terrible idea. Of the 6 filters, the savvy buyers are choosing Newly Listed in their search for a particular item so they can be on top of any BIN listing at the right price that matches what they're looking for before someone else snatches it and poof it's gone. Anyone looking for a hot item, or any item for that matter, knows that their treasure won't last for long if the price is fixed and the price is right. For example, anyone buying something specific for profit that's priced where they can flip it for a profit, such as scrap gold or silver, or for a valuable underpriced antique or collectible, knows that if they search on anything BUT newly listed, they will need a time machine to go back and see what they lost out on.
