I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

PLEASE!!!  Why can't eBay leave well enough alone!!!??!!   

 

I just went to my Watch List to buy an item I put there a few hours ago and could not believe my eyes.  

 

Not going to buy whatever it was since I can't find it!!

 

Does anyone know how to get the old Watch List back?

 

I always have to click the tab to view the Old Purchase History list ... and now this.

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

What's even WORSE about the new watch list is that if you have an auction with a BIN, once the listing is in a watch list - it will only reflect the BIN price to those watching - giving interested buyers the FALSE impression that there is no longer an auction but a striaght BIN.

The buyer missing an opportunity to get in on a auction for much less, just because of this wierd "improvement".

I fear one of my biggest auctions to date will fall victim to this latest change, I AM NOT PLEASED!

 

Also Ebay, get a spell check - if you're gonna change up the WATCH LIST - note its 2 words, not 1 - WATCHLIST is currently reflected.

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

Complete idiots running this company, someone obviously had to justify their job, a change just for a change sake, if it aint broke dont fix it! Looks like absolute garbage a 15 year old designed on his laptop in a single night. Terrible design and it isnt user friendly. Its also buggy as hell. I have 42 items in my watch list and only 17 appear. i refresh and I can see 21 and so on getting a different result each time. Its just dumb. I go to the summary section and they appear there. What the hell ebay, get your shiz together!!

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

I just went through h-e-double hocky sticks trying to find an ended item, beige Tail golf capris, on my watch list, which seller supposedly relisted and are now on sale.   I spent quite a long time and no, I do not want the red knit pants in a different brand/size from a different seller that I kept being shown.

 

I used every backasswards workaround I could think of and never did find them - current/sold/wherever.  How long is a buyer who doesn't know how to doodle around in search going to last hunting through the nonsense?

 

I also tried to delete items from my watch list but kept getting some message, paraphrasing here, "action does not seem available at this time."  Now when I look, 10 minutes later, the items are deleted.

 

There is no way in hades I'm sticking around here when ebay attempts to change to a new payment processor.

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

That's the part I really dislike;  you can't delete a single item without having to go back up to "delete".

 

You also can't see the price of auction items without having to open each individual item, and on top of that, the listing details don't line up with the item title in the Watchlist.  Why do they make these stupid changes?

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

mine's only just changed which is why I've found you post.  

if your watch list is your chosen leading page try clicking SUMMARY in the drop down box and you should see the old style watch list.

hope this helps

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

Thank you for that suggestion! The "Summary" will now be my default go-to view. It's not great, but it's SO MUCH better than the horrible new look of the "Watch List" view.

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

I hate that now you have to look at every list to see what is ending that day. Why did they take "all lists" away. It was already there, how hard is it to put back?

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

Click the "tell us what you think" link on the upper right of the watch list and tell them what we think.

Today they change log on window to some new look, impossible to use in some older browsers. I wish to know which idiot makes changes when Ebay website was working fine with any browser before including wish list was perfect. Now you must use some updated browsers for this idiots.

W watch list is awful. It is counterintuitive. The menu to have  certain columns on the watch list is nowhere to be found. Can't change time ends to time remaining. This is what happens when you hire college kids to do adult jobs.

Re: I HATE THE NEW WATCH LIST!!!!

There is an ebay general chat in an hour, bring it up there mybe?

I dont love the new list, I am personally SO TIRED of having a different selling/listing experience each time I log in. New auto checks, swapping my listings to "best offer" at random, new "not selling" subgroups... its hard to get into a good listing groove. I love ebay, but I have not added my latest items to ebay because I am still figuring out THIS WEEK'S newest changes. Updates I can roll with but its been something new every week on this site! I am sure whoever is in charge of change is getting brownie points, just, as an end user, it is frusterating.
