watch list issue

[corvairbob3463]

ok i have asked this a few times and so far no help so maybe i have not presented this issue correctly!

i have tons of items in my watch list. and all of a sudden in the last couple of weeks my list go to 10 items per page. i then reset it to 100 items per page, it use to be 200 items per page. but then if i happen to delete an item it returns to 10 items per page.

i have cleared cookies reset google chrome browser and about everything else i can think of but i still get this. it happens on multiple pc's so i know it is not this one in pn now. so does anyone have a fix for this? if it continues i will just watch 10 items from now on and that will hurt sellers if they start losing buys watching there items.  i just do not want to always be scrolling down and then have to re-enter the max amount. i will just stop watching over 10 items. thanks

@corvairbob3463,

I just thought of this now, because I came from my watch list. Is your list broken down into categories that you add items to?  If so maybe the last category you looked in or added to is what you are seeing when you open your list. At the bottom of each list you can set the number of items to view.  If you set the All categories view to what ever number you want,maybe the rest will follow. 

Maybe that is why things seem to be changing.

There does appear to be a problem with the Watch List page defaulting to 10 items per page after deleting an item. Unless eBay undoes whatever changed, I do not think there is a way to fix the Watch List.

You can, however, use your Summary page instead to see and delete your Watch List items, or else use this old All Buying page, which can display up to 200 items per page and will maintain that view:

I have the same problem. It does delete sometimes. This just started about a couple of months ago. I have watch items and I also have items I put in list. So I try to delete both ways. Sometimes I think maybe not enough people working to keep up with problems.IDK

i do not like the summary page as it shows stuff on top that i do not want to have to scroll down past to det to what i'm watching. if i could manage how the summary page displays the items then it may be better. or just have a box to check that removes some of the sections.

i do not like categories as then i still need to go to each category to view items. i just like the items i have checked to watch and then as i scroll down i can remove them if they become out of my price or need anymore, to me it is much easier.

if the summary page is customizable i may switch to that. let me know how to do that. thanks.

Did you try the "All Buying" link in my message above? That link should jump directly to the Watch List section of the page.

After reading that this morning, I went back to my watch list checked all of my categories and say 50 items per page on each.  Then I went back to All items and deleted 11 that had ended, and checked my categories again. All categories was still set to 50.  The second category which has the most items in it had changed to 10 items per page.  The other ones were still set to 50 per page. 

I guess we will have to deal with the problem until ebay takes time out from fixing what is not broken, and starts fixing what they have broken by making unnecessary changes.
