Print Option Gone In Lists

[starryone]

What happened to the Print Option in your Wish List or Custom Lists? Now if you want to print one of your personal lists you have to print all of the Ebay junk along with it... There is no longer a print a 'clean" list option.... Ebay is taking away more then it is giving these days!

There is a very clunky workaround, but it does not work for the Watch List, only the other lists.

Start with the old beta "all lists" link:

https://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&SortOrder=ASCEND&GotoPage=1&MyeBayListIndex.Filter=A...

From there, open up an item on one of your other lists. At the top should be a blue banner that says "Saved in your LISTNAME list." Use the LISTNAME link to open up your list in the old format. In the bar at the top that says "Items on your list", if you look to the right you should see an "edit" link that lets you print or rename your list.

If you try that with an item on your Watch List, it defaults to the new format with no edit features. You should be able to create a new list, call it "old watch list" copy all your current watch list items to it and then print it using the steps above.

This would be so much easier if eBay would stop removing useful links.

Tried it but there is no blue banner that you describe any where that I can see?

If you start from the "all list" link, and open up one of the item listings, you should see something like this:

I know what you mean.. but when I open one of the item listings I get to the page that says 'The listing you're looking for is no longer available. Check out this similar item we found for you'.... When I click on 'listing' it takes me to the page I am looking for but the banner is yellow and say 'this listing has ended'... None of the pages says that the item is saved in one of my lists... Maybe that is just not working for me anymore?  I have for instance my purchases in different purchase lists according to what it is and I print them every couple of weeks to keep track....

Meant to say when I open one of the items from the "all lists' link.......

If you don't see that blue banner on an item you know is in one of your lists, open a new tab, go to the main eBay page and use the link in the upper left corner of the page to sign out of eBay, and then sign back in. Go back to the item tab and reload the page, you should see the blue banner.

If you follow the link in the blue banner to the list, you should see something like this:

I see what you mean -- I don't know if this trick works with listings that are already ended. In that case, the redirection to a new open listing takes over.

You could try adding a new (open) item to your list(s). All you need is one open listing on the list to provide you with a link to the old form list.

@starryone

Wait -- I take it back. I just tried my trick using a closed listing, and got two blue banners. Try the sign out/sign in trick and reload the original item.

@starryone

On second thought -- that may only work because the listing that eBay directed me to was already on one of my lists. So maybe try adding an open item to your list after all.

Sorry for the confusion.

Got it to work with my 'Wish List' which has all completed items in it... but it will not work with my private 'Purchases List'... I just get 'You won this auction.. View order details'... I will play around with it and see if I can get it to work.. Of course it's nothing major but on top of all of the other awful changes lately it's annoying... Been on Ebay for 20 years.. guess I'm just a fan of simple and easy... Thanks for all of your help...

@starryone

Actually, if you follow that "listing" has ended link, you wind up at your original item, in which case the link you are looking for is in a cream-colored banner like this:

You just need a link back to your list in the old format (in this case "test").

[eburtonlab]

@starryone

Glad to hear you got it to work with one list!

You may have to add an unpurchased item to your "purchased list" to make that work; I can't see any way to get the banner with a link on an item that you've won.

Once you get the link you can bookmark it, and then delete the unpurchased item and reload the list.

Hopefully others will find this useful as well.

Nope... Mine will have the first part,,, but not the 'saved in your 'whatever' list part...
