I Think Ebay Has Lost It!!!!!

Australia

This has been going for a few days now and it is really annoying me! Ok, so I have 100 items on my watchlist, and they are slowly disappearing due to having to cut my expenditure again!!! That's not the problem, I like watching items and seeing how much they actually go for and how many people bid on them. The real issue is that the items in my watchlist are supposed to be listed starting with the item ending the soonest! Sound about right? yeah, thought so. Ok, now this is interesting, not only are they not listed in finishing order, they are not listed in finishing the latest. Confused yet? So am I! As I log into ebay and head to my ebay page, I have noticed that the items have been listed in my watchlist rather randomly. Now, I know that I have 6 items ending very soon, but none of them appear at the top of the list! The one at the very top finishes in 29 days!!!! The first one finishing soon is on the middle of the 3rd page of watched items. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it only happening to the Australian part of the site or is it a world wide thing? Is there any way to fix it? If you have found this problem over the last few days, has it annoyed you? Did you throw your computer out the window thinking that it was your pc doing it? Do tell please, because I'm going bald from scratching my head trying to work it all out.

I dont even go to ebay anymore. The shipping charges are too rich for my blood. Most things I can buy new for the price I pay at ebay including shipping.

It is getting that way. Being in Australia, I also have the option of Oztion which is great. They really work with the 'community' to keep everyone happy.

I haven't had much to do with EBay since people started hitting up with postage and I got dudded by a couple of overseas traders. It all sounds like a bit of a mess to me...is anyone actually running the place?? I've been wanting to sell a few things but I can't afford to make any mistakes.

It is a bit like that. We've been diddle a few times too, which is probably why I will only pay with Paypal now.

That shouldn't happen. Have you checked sorting the list by finishing order? Just check once.

I've tried everything. For now, it seems to be fixed, but I'd still like to know why it happened! Curious cat here!

That is strange. Whenever I put stuff in my watch list they are always listed in order of the selling soonest. I also get an email that the item I am watching is about to end.

Did you change how the list is sorted? I think it USED to automatically sort from earliest ending to latest but I know there were updates recently and maybe it isn't sorting that way any more and you have to manually choose that option. I know, I know, sounds silly but maybe a few complaints would put things back to the way they were.

I tried everything! Nothing fixed it! The last time I logged in, it was back to normal, but what about the next time? Will it tell me that I've bought and paid for all the items when there were none on my watchlist to begin with? Now that would be nice! lol.
