new feature: replacement in lists of the items we want if they are "no longer available"

This isn't a huge deal but I wonder what others think of it.  If I have something saved in a list and it is "no longer available", ebay now replaces it with a suggestion. . . which really has very little to do with what I was watching (from my perspective).  It's also completely confusing b/c it's not necessarily obvious what I WAS  looking for when I get back to my list.  

 

I think it's a disservice to us as sellers as well as buyers because sometimes we relist a day or a week later and anyone who was still interested won't see the relist.

 

Am I just grumpy?  Maybe so!  But since ebay constantly changes the game every time I get used to the (often redundant and confusing) new features, sometimes I get grumpy even if it's a positive change.  Any positive angle on this?

It sucks.   I've called ebay's 800 number three times, asking to have it stopped.

It is worse than a bad feature.  It subverts the user's intention, and ebay will turn off more people than ever if this continues.  I am a long-time user of ebay, and I have never been so upset with the usability of the site.

I clicked on a relisted item in my watch list and got this message above an item costing 10x more.  Even worse, I went to the sellers page and it really had been relisted.  I think I will let the seller know.
