Directly assign to custom watchlists / Set directly to a watchlist
Summary: plus8_78 expressed frustration over the disappearance of the drop-down menu for adding items directly to a custom watchlist on both desktop and mobile platforms. This feature was crucial for organizing and checking items from specific sellers. stubenkram mentioned that they could still see the drop-down menu on their browsers, suggesting a potential issue with specific browser setups. plus8_78 shared their experiences with different browsers and noted ongoing issues, while bixtron questioned if watchlists were created, advising not to alter device settings unnecessarily. The discussion highlighted challenges with platform functionality and user experience.

Hello,
I noticed today that regardless if on desktop or mobile, the drop-down section of the "Add to watchlist" buttons right side has vanished.
This was an important feature to add an item to an pre-made or to be created individual watchlist. I sued it heavily to check for items from specific sellers i am interested in, to save on shipping. Then watch these lists and sort them by "ending first".
Was this a deliberate decision, or is this a new and recent platform issue?
The only way to organize items by sellers is now to put them on your general watchlist, and then move them from there, which is ridiculous!

Hello,
it has come to my attention today that the drop-down menu on the right side of the “Add to watchlist” button has disappeared — both on desktop and on mobile devices.
This was an important feature for adding items to an existing or new custom watchlist. I used it a lot to specifically look for items from certain sellers I’m interested in, so I could save on shipping.
Was this a deliberate decision, or is this yet another issue with the platform?
The only way to sort items by seller now is to first put them on the general watchlist and then move them from there — which is completely nonsensical and wastes a huge amount of time!

OP1 week ago · EditedCool! I just wiped not only the cache, but also EVERYTHING out on my tablet. Figuring out how to get my tab groups'n'tabs back across devices; Titanium Backup doesn't seem to help and Session Buddy extension never recognized tab groups.
FUN! Thank you Ebay for another headache op!

·1 week agoHello,
have you also created watchlists? Otherwise a drop-down menu would of course be pointless and would not be displayed. Otherwise stop tinkering with your devices, because it's not your devices :-)

·1 week agoYou don't need to create these three additional watchlists in the dropdown,@bixtron they're predefined. (But you could create more.)
These additional lists have existed forever; I don't know whether they still work properly, because I haven't used them for many years. In the past, the watchlist was limited to a smaller number of articles, and back then I also used the wishlist as an extra.

OP1 week ago · EditedOfc i created multiple watchlists! I'm on Ebay since at least 2002!
Instead of fixing thdir brokenfeatures, you get pestered to "use their 'app' for5-10€ discounts! The "Internet" (Silonet since ~2015) becomes more broken each day. And i'm not spending valuable lifetime to search around for fixing IT / tech - that's already my day job, which i get paid for!

·2 weeks agoHi @plus8_78
Is it still like this today too?
I just checked on my end; I use a laptop and Firefox or Opera. In both browsers, the dropdown menu is available.

OP1 week agoOkay, thanks. Must be something regarding an unfortunate intersection between Ebay, Browsers, Firewalls,Blocklists, Platform Incompetence.
