I cannot find my research list. Any idea what happened to it?

To reach your custom lists, you must use a desktop browser (or a mobile browser in desktop mode). You cannot use the eBay app.

Go to your Watch List page, and click on the large Watchlist heading at the top to reveal a drop-down menu of all of your lists. Select your Research List there.

You can also reach one of your lists by going to an item page, adding the item to the list, and then using the link that appears in the blue band at the top of the page to reach the list.

oct 2022 seems ebay eliminated the research list??!

I still see all my custom lists, including my Research list.

Try signing out of your eBay account and then sign back in. Go to your Watch List page using a desktop browser, and then click on the large Watchlist heading to see all your custom lists in alphabetical order.

Unless you deleted the list or you are signed in to a different eBay account, your list should be there.

Went to look at my Research List the other day and found that most of the listings I had added in the past were no longer there! 

Is eBay deleting these lists because I never received any notification of that kind.

Clearly they're rather we added items to our Watch List so they can be used for marketing etc etc.

Stupid, because Research List allows users to save a list of items of interest to them which won't show in a saved search.

Listings may sell and be removed from eBay.

Listings that end and are not automatically relisted will expire after ninety days, at which point those listings are no longer available on eBay and will no longer appear in any list.

The only notification would be an indication on the list that an ended item was relisted, which would need to be viewed and acted on in the ninety day window before the listing expired.

Keeping a list populated may require periodic effort to view ended items and re-watch any that are manually relisted with a new item number.
