I had a bunch of neat stuff archived there that I was going to buy someday. I don’t even remember 90% of it. Good going EBay, you just lost 100’s of dollars in profit.

Go to “My eBay” and scroll to “Watch List.” Has you archived stuff moved to there?

“I don’t remember 90 percent of the stuff I was going to buy someday, but you’ve lost that money” doesn’t sound like something that would give a retailer chills.

That’s was my first thought but it does seem weird for them to remove that feature.
