eBay

Am I the only one this is happening to? I am watching and buying more things than usual right now as I just moved and am shopping around for home decor. Anyway, the other day I couldn't find something I know I had put in my watch list -- was annoyed and thought I must have accidentally deleted it. Still annoyed as I can't find it again, don't know what keywords I used to find it initially.

Well this morning two more things are missing from the list that I know there is no way I deleted. So that makes a total of three things missing from the list. Two of which I can no longer find.

Is it just me?

Happy 2018! May this upcoming year be a prosperous one!

I believe you because my watch list doesnt even work half the time. Neither does the cart. Anything I want to get back to easy goes on my favorites list. Because ebay is becoming a royal MESS.

How many items do you have on your watch list? Ebay switched the default to 'most irRelevant' from ending soonest.

Causes a lot of grief for auction listings.

Watch Lists have a size limit.

And I suspect a time limit also.

I had that happen recently.

The only way I found the item was to go to my computer history and find it.

The seller had ended it as out of stock. I thought it was a glitch because at the time, things were showing up OOS that were not.

But it was legitimate as I contacted the seller. But it should have shown up in completed listings.

IT was not in my watch, my recently viewed items, or completed or sold items.

I looked everywhere.

Hope this helps!

The Watch Limit is 300 items; if you go over that, and try to watch something, it will tell you that you have exceeded your watch limit. SO you need to delete some items to search more.

They do time off after so many months.

Yes, only room for 8 pages at 25 per page.

No time limit. As long as the listing remains active, it stays in there.

As to the OP, if ebay removes a listing then it will disappear.

8 pages at 25 per page would be 200 items. My list max is 300. I know, I've bumped it lately.

That is all that I could fit before I got the message telling me I was at max.

Unfortunately, today, I can barely fill up a page and a half of items I am interested in.

Ended listings stay on the Watch List until you delete them or they age off.

No not ending listings, but listings ebay removes because there was a problem.

My Watch List max is 300 also. I didn't know there were other maxs.

I wonder if it depends on how many you have on a page.

Mine is 25, easier for me to see.

And I remember I only had 8 pages.

But it has been a long time since I needed more than a couple of pages to hold my watched list.

Fine jewelry prices are just so high lately that bargains are far and few between.

I don't think so. I have had three hundred for quite some time; I think it used to be two hundred but they changed it in the last few years, I don't know exactly when.

But it has always been split with 100 on a page; I have had problems getting to my Watch List at all, like many others, and Trinton had posted to just put 25 on a page and that was the work around. BUT that gives you TWELVE pages and it is a pain to scroll through all that to delete anything. Before the three pages was not that bad. So I did not change it; it worked before so one should not have to use a work around that adds more work to accomplish what it did before.

I sent in several tell us what you think surveys where I said that it took 10-12 clicks to get to the Watch List with no guarantee of getting it at all. And voila, all of a sudden my Watch List was changed from having 100 on a page to having 25 on a page and I did not do it; the Watch List seems to work somewhat better now as far as getting to it at all but it is by no means running smoothly.
