I love the new eBay "collections" feature that is part of the revamp profile page. It's like a Pinterest style boards only for eBay items. You can create topic boards and add eBay items to them. As a seller, it may, in the long run, gives you more exposure if people add some of your items to their collections, especially if their boards attract a lot of followers and views.
As a buyer, you can use these boards to do more useful and organized wish lists. I have started one for Canadian advertising covers. Whenever I run across a cover I'd like, I just add it to my board and when I have some money to spend, I browse my own boards and select a few items to buy. It's more visual and organized than the current watch list. And I have already bought a few items (so I guess it's working for the sellers!). The only problem is that sold items stay on your boards so it's not perfect if you plan on using these as a buyer's wish list. But on the other hands keeping the sold items make these board more attractive in the long run.
Here's the board:
