eBay

I hate the new watch list that started today, Friday July 20. 2018. I used to be able to see starting bids, and the Buy It Now price, but as of today it is only showing the Buy It Now price. To see all the price information I have to open the auction. This is unacceptable to me. I hope eBay will restore the old views for both watching and searches. I like to view searches by time newly listed. The first page for that is fine, but when I got to the second page the time listed no longer show. Stop it eBay!

Wait until you see it. Epic disaster. In other words, situation normal.

Yep. Terrible. Most of the nice watching features have vanished. Thanks ebay!

I hate it more and more every day. deleting takes more time, can't see shipping costs or even if an item is an auction or bin/bo, still have to go into the listing to bid/offer anyway, don't care about 95% of the info shown. very annoying. if anyone figures out how to get the old view back I will be forever grateful to you.

The closest thing I've found to the old Watch List is the current Summary page, at least until it is updated.

I prefer the "all lists" view, which link no longer appears on eBay, but can be bookmarked here:

https://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&SortOrder=ASCEND&GotoPage=1&MyeBayListIndex.Filter=A...

If you open up items from other lists using that link, you can get to old versions of your non-watch lists by following the link at the top of the page that says "Saved in your LISTNAME list". Unfortunately it doesn't work for the Watch List (it defaults to the new format), but at least you can bookmark your other lists in the old format.

Thanks so much! Much better layout

now I have to figure out if offers to sellers show up in there, I got hit w/the new horrible offer layout before I read this and accepted. I now have 3 bookmarks for my ebay stuff. scheesh.

I know this is an old thread, but I noticed something else which appears to be a Watchlist glitch. On the watchlist, I found out a seller dropped the price on an item I was watching - but my watchlist still shows the old price. Waited a couple of days - my watchlist still shows the wrong "old" price and not the new lowered price. Hopefully Ebay will fix this - must be a programming glitch.

BTW: If I use the link eburtonlab provided above (which somehow shows the old view of Watchlist) - the pricing is correct. So it's just the new "improved" watchlist that has this glitch.

it is such a mess the people that screwed it up wont even change it back, you know they are really lost

Thanks. The “new improved” format has been a pain for a while. I didn’t see any benefits to it and only negatives. I guess they make these changes in a vacuum, slapping each other on the back and congratulating themselves on what a great job they did.
