eBay

I've looked and looked and I cannot figure out how to see the custom lists I've made in the eBay app?? When I go into my wishlist (I'm on android mobile, using a Samsung S23 Ultra), I can click the little pencil in the upper right, and that gives me the ability to select multiple listings. I can then delete the things I've selected or make a Custom list out them... I was so excited to organize my wishlist (I'm watching like... 100 different things. Gifts for different ppls birthdays. Things I collect. Jewelry. Sooo many varied things) and then I can't find access to those lists anywhere in the app?

I Google how to see my custom lists and everything I'm finding is basically saying I can only access them through the desktop website? Which I am 100% NEVER on. Genuinely can't even remember the last time I accessed eBay on my computer. It's been years, at least.

This seems like SUCH poor design for such a well known company?? Can I really not break my wishlist into custom lists that I can then see on the app?

This is insane to me?

I do not think the eBay app supports custom lists on a mobile phone, though apparently if you have a larger tablet it is possible to use lists via the app, at least according to a screenshot that someone posted not too long ago.

You can, however, use a mobile browser in desktop mode on a phone to reach your custom lists.

Well, low and behold. After 10 or more years of irritation at this, it looks like you can view your custom lists anyway in the Android Mobile app. I don't see that you can add to your custom lists but it seems you can at least view them.

So 1 down, 1 to go.

Fingers crossed. Is very important from my view. Tags would be another approach but let's get lists (aka our own categories) working fully.

I don't see that you can add to your custom lists

If you use the pencil icon from your Watch List screen in the app, you can check a box by a Watch List entry and then use the "add to list" button at the top of the list.

Thanks for the heads up about the access to other lists in the app!

Hey, well no pencil 📝 but I find that if, in Android Mobile, I add to watchlist (then a confirm model comes up and I am given the option to "add to list'.

Makes for some duplication but does allow categorization on mobile which is great (at last).

I think I also found on Mobile Android that If I remove something from the main watchlist I am given the option to "add to list" and again categorize it. Yay #2 and can eliminate duplication that way.
