Question Re: Watch list page improvement in Site Issues

Watch list page improvement

frankandlindy — Sat, 01 Oct 2022 07:16:43 GMT

Hi,

How about a "Delete" button at the bottom of the Watch List page? You scroll down the page, choosing all the items you want to delete, and then you have to scroll all the way to the top to hit the Delete Button. That is lame, and lazy on the developers.

What? It takes a few minutes to put in a Delete Button at the bottom, and provides greater convenience to the thousands who do the process every day.

Cheers,

You'd need to ask eBay

They don't actually want to hear any feedback about stuff, but posting on the member to member forum won't be seen by eBay as they do not read here to see what people post/ask/suggest

Very easy solution, start at the BOTTOM of the page and scroll up marking as you go, then the delete button's right there for you.......

It has been said before that for other issues you have to click on the links on the left in the Summary (for example the purchase history if you want to see feedback left or received).

BUT for this particular issue you have to tick the items you want to delete from the watchlist on the Summary page, and there will be a delete button at the bottom. If you click on the link on the left, the button will be at the top of the watched items page.

There is not much logic in how the website is organized (if any at all), so you have to experiment yourself.

Another new issue is that when I click on the magnifying glass for a preview the images won't load. And yes, of course I have tried different browsers, cleared cache and cookies etc. They should really find a new webmaster.

Thnx for tour thoughts but I thought at least a person from the development would have addressed it. It's not a rocket science matter. A kid in junior high school could copy n paste the Delete button at the top of the page n put it at the bottom of the page. Or at least indicate that this function would be added to the To Do List. But it seems not here. Cheers.

I want it placed exactly in the middle of each page, and I do mean the middle, not 1mm L - R - T - B. Absolute bullseye and just to make it unmissable I want it about 150mm square.

@frankandlindy .
Thnx for tour thoughts but I thought at least a person from the development would have addressed it.

I realise that you think that a person from development (I assume you mean from IT/website maintenance) would address your comment, but this is a public board (Community Discussion Board) and unfortunately eBay (incl. its Technical Team) don’t come here.

There’s no direct way to contact eBay IT. It may sound harsh and counterintuitive, but eBay don’t care about what its users find convenient or useful in its website design or function. (Of course they would if it affected their bottom line.)

eBay’s Unsolicited idea submissions policy page delicately hints at their stance:

❝At eBay, we appreciate comments from our members on our products and services. But we have a long-standing policy of not accepting unsolicited suggestions, ideas, or proposals.❞

(Translation: we actually don’t appreciate members’ unsolicited comments or feedback.)

❝What happens if I send a suggestion to eBay?

We appreciate your input, but we can't respond to suggestions that are sent to eBay.❞

(Translation: Put your input where the sun doesn’t shine.)

And so on.

If you still have a burning desire to tell eBay about the ease and simplicity and desirability of a “Delete” button at the bottom of the Watch list, use the link below.

And even when they solicit feedback, they don't really care. When they changed the "saved searches" and "saved sellers" pages, many people didn't like them, and there was an option to give feedback, but they never went back to the old look. Maybe not enough people gave feedback, but I doubt they really received a lot of positive feedback (judging from the comments here at least, which were all negative).

The only time when eBay appreciates feedback is when they have an invitation-only survey with the questions set up with options that operate like Putin’s inner circle. “Yes sir, of course we agree, sir.”
