On the listing page for an item, there used to be a down-arrow for "Add-to-List" that would display my Custom Lists. It was on the button for "Add to Watchlist". (see red arrow below).
Choosing one of the Custom Lists would add the item to my list.
Now, the Add-to-List link has completely disappeared on all the listings, even ones that I have previously added to one of my Custom Lists.
I've tried signing in, signing out, multiple browsers, desktop, phone, different accounts. The Add-to-List eature has completely disappeared. Anyone else seeing this?
How can I use my Custom Lists if I can no longer Add to List?

A lot of buyers are annoyed by this.
Once added to your watchlist you can move it to a custom list. Extra steps.

Thank you. The problem with adding it to the Watchlist then adding it to a Custom List is that now the item is in two places. If I delete the item from my Watchlist, it deletes it everywhere, including from my Custom List.
I don't use the Watchlist, just the Custom Lists and am trying to add an item to just my Custom List, as I was able to do this up until four days ago.
They really seem to be trying to hide and kill the Custom Lists. Utter stupidity, since other sites, like Amazon, make using custom lists easy to find, easy to edit, and easy to use and get a TON of Sales from Custom Lists!!

Since you don't use the watchlist you could just leave it there and ignore it - as long as you get the item on your custom list that's what you need.
Click the ? icon on the bottom right of the page and select "send feedback."

The Add to LIst drop-down is gone for me too.

Thanks again. Adding to the Watchlist triggers other annoying functionality such as sending me unwanted emails and notifications. I don't use the Watchlist because I have hundreds of items on my Custom Lists, which if they were on the Watchlist too, would trigger a tsunami of spam emails and notifications.
That and these unnecessary extra steps are going to make using any lists on Ebay impossible. They have ruined using lists of any kind.
I'm going to start using bookmarks in my browser. If Ebay no longer gets that data from me, to report my "Watching" to the seller and other buyers, that is their loss. At least Ebay can't mess with bookmarks on my own personal device.
