Unable to delete items on eBay

dannyboy · February 01, 2020, 07:09:50 PM

For the last couple of days, I have been unable to 'Delete Item' in my list of watched items. I normally use 'Opera', but am getting the same problem in 'Chrome'. I have tried refreshing the page, but that makes no difference. Has anybody else noticed this problem?

Can you not click unwatch on the item page that should remove it from the list?

Just tried on an item I used to test the 'Delete Item' and now it does not give me an option to 'Undelete', just an option to 'Watch Item' again.

Try clearing out your cache

hmmm... you reminded me I needed to clear out my watch list

No problem, selected a bunch of stuff and hit delete as normal. Items deleted. Chrome browser on Windows 10.

Cache cleared - no difference.

When I hover over 'Delete item', the words turn blue but when I click on it - nowt happens. Every other link on the eBay page works, even the 'Add note' next to'Delete item' - it just seems to be that one link that will not work and there are three items that I want to delete, but the delete will not work on any of them!

I've had this glitch too. On the item page, click 'Watch' and the page will refresh to include the blue bar with the 'Unwatch' button.

I've just got this glitch on my eBay too (chrome). "Delete item" on individual items doesn't work but marking it and then clearing it from the Delete tab does (the one that annoyingly can appear at the top or the bottom of the list depending what mood it's in).

So I'm guessing it's something eBay have done.

If I open my watching page and click on delete under the item it normally deletes it. Today it does not, by clicking on the little square box to the left of the item and scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on delete it deletes the item. Maybe a temporary problem with eBay.

Thanks for the replies. I did as @Buffin and @geoffc suggested and that has had some effect. BUT when I click on 'Summary', it takes me to my Order page and I can not get to 'Summary' - must be something that eBay have done.

Sadly my summary page is still fine (it's my bookmark).
