WATCH LIST--Note to self doesn't get saved.

A few weeks ago I noticed that "note to self" on the watch list page doesn't get saved.  It appears to enter, but the next time you call up the watch list, the note is gone.  I spent a good amount of time on the phone with tech support and they said it would be fixed.  It's weeks later, and it still doesn't work.  Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, I have been having the same problem for weeks.

WATCH LIST--Note to self doesn't get saved.

I am not sure if the issue is one of saving the notes, or displaying them.

 

I have had better results seeing the notes more consistently using the old "All Lists" page rather than the Watch List or Summary page:

 

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

 

Or the old "All Buying" page:

While they are NOT fixing the OP's problem they have to also fix the fact you cannot delete any of the items on the "Wish list"..... For me the notes part is working fine but I can't delete the items I no longer want on the list?? Help! It can't be a difficult thing to do.

Same thing here.   But, I have found that the notes magically appear after about 24 hours or so.

If you are having problems deleting watch list items from your Summary page, try using the checkbox in front of the item and the "delete" button at the top of the list rather than the "delete item" link that appears when you hover your cursor over the item.

 

There does seem to be a problem with those "delete item" links -- I was not able to get them to work in any browser since early February. Not sure when that problem started; I had not noticed it until then.

 

Take care not to accidentally delete all of your items, though. If you select the checkbox at the top of the list, that will select all the items on the page.

 

If you are actually having problems deleting items from the Watch List page itself and you are using Internet Explorer, try another browser instead. If you are still having issues, try deleting items from the Summary page as described above.

 

It is also possible to delete Watch List items directly from the item page using the "remove" link at the top of the page in the blue band.

 

If you still have difficulties or you find a particular item is "stuck", try this "All Lists" link -- find the item on this list of all of your watched items and delete it there:

 

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

 

For some reason this last method works when others seem to fail.

The disappearing "notes to self" on the watch list got fixed a while back--probably some time in June--now it doesn't work again.  Enter a note, it's there, next time you load the page, it's gone.  Guys, you have to write this stuff into the database from the I/O buffer!    How hard is this?  Apparently, almost impossible.  PLEASE FIX THIS--I USE IT A LOT!  Very frustrating.   I'm not an expert, but have done a good deal of database work, and this is not rocket science!

I believe that the notes are being saved, though they may not be displayed consistently. Try using an alternative page to view your Watch List items, and the notes may appear more consistently for you.
