OK, so where are they hiding the "Wish" and "Research" lists now?

Previous thread: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Tools-Apps/research-list/td-p/28984196

 

PS: Anyone know why this obsession with closing threads; other than to fragment discussions and produce the appearance of new activity?

 

What do we the users looking for information (which we shouldn't have to look for) gain from having a half dozen different threads on the same subject?

@milezero 

That post is almost a year old and since it has to do with the app, the information is probably outdated.

 

 

 

 

Have a great day.

Your lists should still be found in the same place they have been for the past two years.

 

You should be able to reach your custom lists by using a desktop browser to go to the Watch List page and then clicking on the large "Watchlist" heading at the top of the page to reveal a menu of all of your lists.

 

See here for some pictures:

You mean the same inaccessible, counter-intuitive place that people have to google to find ? LOL

 

If a video is necessary to explain how to find something, either the people designing the web page are incompetent, have been told to make the said item difficult to find, or they are simply making work for themselves by shuffling stuff around.

 

Look at your current eBay home page.  Under the "My eBay" drop-down menu you will see "Watchlist" among a number of other options.  My proposal is very simple, either expand the drop down menu  to include "Research List" and "Wish List" etc. OR.... if the drop-down cannot be lengthened lest it extend too far over the advertising or whatever else appears in the space below, simply create a menu item called "My Lists" or something similar, and have that item expand to the right into the three or four lists.  A small arrow of some kind would alert people to the fact that the "My Lists" item expands to the right.

 

Of course that would be so simple and intuitive that it would be hard to "make work" out of it in the future.  LOL

Those instructions are outdated (e.g. buttons/boxes are not available to be checked/selected). The pictures are not even viewable.

It appears that the pictures on the page in that link are no longer available, or the user that posted them has moved them. The instructions should still apply, as the basic format of the Watch List page has not changed in the last two years.

 

Here is a picture of the drop-down list on the Watch List page:

If you are unable to use check boxes or menus on your Watch List page, try another desktop browser, particularly if you are using Internet Explorer, which is no longer a recommended browser.
