I just tried to buy an item I’ve had on my watchlist for awhile, and the page pulled up at first, then disappeared and I was thrown back to my watchlist. The same thing happens with some other, but certainly not all, of the listings I try to view from the same seller.
I suspect it’s a glitch in Sponsored Listings or it’s related somehow to EBay Payments. It’s bizarre and really aggravating. I have not been blocked by the seller, and in fact buy from them all the time.
Anyone else having this issue?

Some (all?) sponsored listing are block by ad blockers.......you might check to see if your's is enabled and, if so, disable it.
That said.......are you sure the items are still listed? i.e. have you gone to the seller and done a search for the item(s) involved?

Although an ad blocker can block a sponsored listing from appearing in a search, that should not have any effect on whether you are able to view the actual listing using a link from your Watch List.
Can you provide an item number of one of those items that you are unable to view?
The only recent issue I recall that prevented users from viewing items using a direct link involved users in India trying to view items listed on foreign sites when using ebay.com -- in that case, clicking on an item title from a search would generate the "missing page" error. The workaround involved viewing those items on ebay.ca or another country site, which might be worth trying in this case.
Trying another browser might be a good idea, just in case there is some sort of conflict with cookies or cached data. Or try pulling up the link from your Summary page instead of the Watch List, in case there is some issue with that particular page.
