Watchlist Details Changed
Recently the item number and the "Delete Item" details disappeared from my Watchlist items. I have found no way to turn this on or off. Is there a hidden configuration for the displaying of listing details?
Thanks.

OP1 year agoUpdate. As of Wednesday (27 NOV) everything is back. The format is the way it has always been with the information displayed in three columns in the content frame. I have no idea how it got back or why it changed. Possibly, as suggested, EBay was experimenting with a new page layout and with enough complaints they switched back.
Thanks, to all who provided feedback.

OP1 year agoI am going to forward the info to EBay technical support, but I have never had ant response from them.

OP1 year agoYes, I've tried all the "suggested" browsers (and more)...same result. Definitely something in my account settings/login. I've tried 4 different computers + my android phone with two different logins. My work login displays all the info, the home login does not. I will delete the entire watch list next.

It is possible that eBay is testing something in one account and not the other; in that case deleting your Watch List items won't help.

OP1 year agoAll list views (Summary, Watchlist, Bids-Offers, Purchase History) are the same. Also, the thumbnail picture is bigger in the reformatted page.

Mentor1 year agoTry another browser to rule out a browser issue.
If you are using a mobile browser, make sure you using desktop mode.
I still see item numbers under the item titles in the Watch List section of the Summary page in multiple browsers, even after clearing eBay cookies and changing the zoom level of the page.

OP1 year agoSo, after further analysis, it appears as though the 3rd column in the content section of the page layout is missing. At some point Ebay determined there was not enough space on my browser page to include the 3rd column of information. When that happens the composter eliminates select information to compact the listing content into 2 columns. now missing from my watch/offer/search results/ pages are the auction end time, item number, time remaining, and item-specific delete button. I believe this happened when I opened the desktop page in the browser on my phone. How to get the information back on the desktop page has not been determined.

Mentor1 year agoTry viewing your Watch List items on your Summary page:
https://www.ebay.com/mye/myebay/summary
Item numbers still appear there for me.

Mentor1 year agoTo see the item number, hover your cursor over the item title. In my browser (Firefox) the link URL including the item number is shown in the lower left of the browser window. Or follow the link to the listing where the item number can be found.
