How do I make Saved Sellers Private? (seen by me only)

[padi*0409]

Since you are the only one that should be able to log into your account, you are the only one that can see you saved seller list.

If someone else has access to your account then change your passwords.

padi, I think you can see other people's lists. I seem to remember something about making it private when you followed people, which I'm pretty sure is the same as 'saving' them used to be.

As far as I'm aware rabbit, the "followed" members are different to "saved seller" lists. I tried logging out and looking at my ID and nothing showed up (my images are private and I don't follow anybody). If my saved sellers were there there'd be a couple of dozen of them.

You're right, padi.  I just checked my list of people I'm following (took a bit to find it) and then clicked on 'Settings' and saw that you have the option to have them as Public or Private.  That's probably what I was thinking of because I remember setting them to private when ebay changed something a few years ago.

There are also the Collections....useless as they are.   They are public by default but apparently you can set them to Private.

I think some sellers use collections of their own items as extra advertising. Really can't see any point in them other than that. I believe they fiddled with the privacy settings on all that stuff two or three years ago (may be longer - time flies!).

I've always thought collections are pretty much a waste of space and they should go back to advertising people's items where they show collections on the right of the page.

I started using Collections as a default Watch ist until I realised that they did not show in my main lists.....I missed so many auctions tht way that I very quickly ditched the Collections.   I had forgotten all about them until a couple of weeks ago when I inadvertently came across them.   Both are outdated as I have already bought the items that are on them.
