Are the only members who are permitted to be in the "Saved Sellers List" ... sellers??

I know it was never just sellers before.

A person could also add a "buyer" to their saved sellers list before.

Hopefully this is not an asinine question ... lol

What a wonderful thought. I just tried it out on one of my best customers that is not a seller (no feedback at all as a seller) and it worked...saved to my sellers list.

Wow. I have lots members (no feedback as seller either) on my Saved Sellers List but yesterday I tried to add one special person in particular and kept getting a different screen asking me to Sign in.

Even though I was already signed in, I clicked to sign in and up came a screen in Italian ..... so I just back spaced and went on about my searches.

And of course, since the member has no *store, I cannot even search to locate her by simply entering her member ID.

Sounds like the same glitch that was happening a few months ago with the sign in. I had one in German, one in Spanish and one in (maybe) Russian come up at various times while I was working. Maybe try again later and see if will work for you.

And...thanks for asking the question. I never knew that I could save a buyer to my seller list, but I do now and that list will be getting new additions quite often.

You're welcome. I even have 2 family members who passed away, but their IDs are still in my Saved Sellers List and each time I look there I am so happy to see them.

Oh ... and don't forget you can make your saved sellers list private ... or leave it public, I always make mine private.

How do I make it private?

Adding members to your saved sellers list pulls their listings into your feed. What purpose is served by adding buyers to a saved sellers list? I'm not criticizing- I'm legitimately asking because I don't know.

@mcdougle4248, There may be an easier way but I do it by clicking on my All Selling page, then at the top left, I click on my eBay ID and then scroll down a little way and you can not only see who you are following (under Members) but you can see if anyone is following you. I like it!! Have fun!!

I never understood what a feed was but I see that word when I go to read PMs, it says Notification Feed.

But when I save members to my Saved Sellers List .... it shows under Members when I click my User ID.

The purpose, for me, it to always be able to keep in touch via eBay messages, with some people I've met on eBay who I realllly like and whose email addy I might not have.

Thanks for asking ... oh, and I don't mind anyone being critical of something I have said or asked. My skin has become thick over time so now I just like to laugh a lot and have fun.

eBay has been a place for me to do that, in messages and here on the board.

That makes sense, thank you.

Click on the feed link I posted above and it will show you recent listings from your saved sellers.

The notification feed is different- that's just an alert system. On the board it's for PMs, likes, etc. On the general eBay site it's for messages, outbid notices, watched items ending, sales, offers, etc.

Wow. Where did you find that feed link??? I never saw photos like that with seller's IDs attached to them. I'm going to go back to that link and look some more. Thanks!!!!!

You can book mark the link or you can access it from the home page. Below the eBay logo and search bar there is a menu that says Home, Saved, Motors, Fashion, etc. Click on Saved to see your saved sellers listing feed.

I can't find it. Do I click on my All Selling and then look under the eBay logo on the top left? If so ..... I did that but .... I must be missing something. And I tried looking 3 x already. I don't even see >> Home Saved Motors Fashion Electronics Collectibles & Art or Home & Garden ....

I'll be back later, thanks so much!!
