Another general question.

 

Why have collections been removed from eBay.com?

 

The help page about collections still says they are available, and gives instructions for using them, but none of these instructions work any more. 

Create and view collections

 

There are no "Add to collection" links or buttons on listing pages any more.

 

It has not been possible to create any new collections for months. I tried to create a new collection for my 2018 purchases several months ago. Although it appeared to create the collection, and at that time I was able to go through the motions to add items to it, I was never able to access the collection itself so it was useless.

 

At that time, I was still able to add items to other collections, but now even that doesn't work any more. For a while it was still possible to add fixed price items to collections but not auctions, now you can't add anything to a collection.

 

Collections are a very useful way to maintain records, they used to be more reliable than the Purchase History, which has had several long-term and poorly-responded-to glitches, as well as never accurately showing the price of international items. Also, many buyers used Collections to organize items that they were considering purchasing. They are more functional and effective than the watch list, or other lists.

 

I have asked about this before, going back at least a year IIRC, and I have been told that alan@ebay and other blues are contacting the team involved and will get back to me with the response. But, you have never shared any information or response, just the promises.

 

Collections are very useful. Please bring them back. If they are not going to be available, then at least acknowledge that, make an announcement, and remove the help pages that say they are available.


Hi @lacemaker3 - I wanted to let you know we've heard back from the Collections team and they have advised that they're currently consolidating features, and that you'll soon be able to organize and group things in similar way to collections from within a Watch list. Thanks!

Tyler,
