how do i get my custom lists back?

[msmalevolent]

I have this problem a lot where I view a listing, but under the bid button, it shows "add to watchlist" (or "watchlist is full") and then "add to collection" underneath. how do I make the drop down bar come back? I've tried refreshing, navigating elsewhere and coming back to the listing, signing in and out, but nothing will make it come back. I've got like 1000 tabs open and I can't save anything! Please help! This is driving me nuts!

Totally driving me nuts too!

This IS absolute BS.... I too am finding my wish/gift/etc lists disappear and I have a 'collection' option only -

**bleep** eBay?!?!?! I don't want a stupid collection, I want lists. 

Why can't I watch 1000 items if I want to??? limiting the number of items buyers can watch is ridiculous, isn't that the same as limiting the number of items we can buy... isn't the whole point of ebay to sell and buy???

EXASPERATED!!!!

PLEASE, if anyone has found a loophole for this let me know... 

p.s. I don't want to delete items to watch items... duh.

Your Watch List will only hold 200 items.  If it is full you need to delete some items before you can add others.

The system is gradually changing from Persoanl Lists to Collections and some listings will not allow you to add anything more to your own lists.  I currently had a mixture of personal lists and Collections and it is a real pain.  The worst feature of the Collections is that they are not Private unless you make the so.
