eBay

Hey anyone else having this problem again? Instead of displaying the number of hours or minutes left for items in my watch list, all I get as of this morning is "TIME LEFT" No matter how many times I refresh the page or back out, etc. that is all I get. This problem has happen in the past, wondering why this happens? What did ebay do to start this glitch again? It needs to be fixed ASAP. Hard to bid on items when you dont know when they end. Im going to miss the end of auctions because I can tell when they end.

I am too look like this bug has reared it's ugly head again. I already tried signed out clearing cache and signing in again and that didn't fix it.

We CAN DO NOTHING to fix the problem, and ebay WILL DO NOTHING to fix it.

Hi! I have the same problem :((

Nothing helps.

Same problem here. It isn't an auction without the count down right? I am sure they will take forever to do anything about it. It effects thier quota to hurt the buyer by making it harder to know when items are ending.

Same problem here for days now. I don't know how eBay can these bugs run for so long.

It's even worse if you don't live in CA as the end times for the auctions are all in the west coast time zone, so you have to remember to add 3 hours to the stated end time. I'm sure I have lost a bunch of sales/ bids because of it, as I know I missed a few auctions I was going to bid on.

Well another morning I get up and find that the count down timer for watched items is NOT working on My Summary page. As a result of this continuing problem "That shouldnt be a problem" I am missing the ends of auctions. So sellers are loosing money because I miss the bid on their items as a result of the broken counter. Ebay this problem is costing You money. Fixing it "Should be a Priority"

Does anyone remember how long it took to fix the View Counter on the selling page this past summer? Ebay "Denied" that there even was a problem for over a month.

If they would stop trying to fix things all the time.......do we really need to update and change things 3 or 4 times a year? Im still convinced the this is intentional, trying to migrate (force) users of the old style pages on to the new ugly terrible view pages (that are utterly useless).

I think there are other problems going on as well. Anyone noticed how poorly the search engine is working? Items are in the wrong categories. Search results are incomplete, items unrelated are being displayed. Also if you are a seller, noticed how erratic your sales are? I bet your items are not getting the number of views they use to get?

All these fixes and updates need to be rolled back. We need a User and Seller Freindly Ebay back.

What I think it's odd is that I don't see too many people complaining. For such a major glitch shouldn't there be more people complaining? Maybe not all are affected by this?

I just called Ebay and I was told that feedback from other members wanted the count down clock change,I find that hard to believe. If i was sell items on Ebay i would not be happy!!!!!

my gut tells me this is all planned to force us into the new ugly watch list. The countdown works perfectly fine there, but it's so ugly. And it's not like ebay hasn't taken things away from us in my ebay on purpose to make things more difficult, like bulk re-listing, easy popups to relist listings without having to open the entire listing which is a pain, all to force us to use stuff they want us to use.

I find that hard to believe too. I never seen any posts people complaining they want the clock changed.

@dragonuno

I think the only folks really affected by this are those who set their eBay landing page to the Summary page. Folks using the Watch List page or even the old "All Lists" page still have working countdowns.

gripsz · ‎09-21-2018

When I click ADD to Watchlist, i want the item Added To Watchlist, AND, My Base page has always (years) been Summary Page. If I can't log in and see the upcoming auctions, I simply Loose Interest in the item, there's nothing Leading me up to the Sale. That is (WAS) the Beauty of the Whole System. Seeing 'Time Left' only, was/is a fatal flaw. or, an idiotic idea, that has literally Saved Me money because i haven't Bid on anything. They can Fix It, or Stop Selling (and collecting overpriced seller fees). We both loose, but i'd say i do/will save money. I'll go to retail stores instead, or Amazon, and give Them my money. End of Story. For what it's worth, might I Add, Having to Look at 'Sign In with FACEBOOK at every log in has just about put the nail in the coffin, What do i give a Fly F* about Anything 'Facebook'. If i wanted to use Facebook, why would i be headed to ebay, sorry, but i don't see the correlation. Seems like some kind of 'kick-back' from Those privacy crooks. Losers.

A little over a month and somebody Finally Fixed the #$%&. Thank You! Even Added sign on with Google below FaceBotch, it's not w/o Both, (perfer neither), but it seems a little more non one-sided?. Thanks Again, Whomever...
