How I remove or lower the "Sponsored items similar to what you've watched" from my watch list?

It takes up a lot of space at the beginning of my watch list, and I missed items that I wanted to bid on because now they are listed at the bottom of my watch list.  How do I turn this feature off?

You may be able to use an ad blocker's element hiding tool to block those sponsored listings that appear in your Watch List.

I do not see any sponsored listings on my Watch List on ebay.com, but I was able to create a rule to block those sponsored listings on another eBay site. Most ad blockers allow users to select a page element using a point and click interface to create an ad blocking rule.

That did not work for me.  I think this is an ebay doing, so it's not an ad and can not be blocked.  Thought there might be a way to move this feature.  Thanks

Ad blockers can block more than just ads. It make take some effort to select the right page element to block, though.

Anything can be blocked, the only question is if blocking it also blocks something else you may want to see.

Thanks,

I got it to work for a little while and then it came back.  I have to keep doing the ad blocker to maintain the block.  Seems ebay found a way to morph the ad if it is block.

There may be more than one type of sponsored page element, or eBay may be changing how it is inserted into the Watch List.

Or you may have to block the entire page element at once rather than blocking individual sponsored items whose names will change over time.
