Description
Watch List
All the items on the Watch List can be presented together or
divided into auctions that are still open and those that have
closed. The first choice presents the items on a Watch page (Fig. 1
below) and the second presents its results on Open and Closed pages
(Fig. 2).
Watch item removal
Items on the Watch List are
automatically removed after this number of days. eBay keeps
listings accessible for 90 days after the auction closes.
Auto-watch notes
Add the item to the Watch List when notes are added to an item.
This is the default.
Auto-watch highlights
Add the item to the Watch List
when an item is highlighted manually. This is the default.
(Searches can be set up to
automatically highlight their results and these items will not be
placed on the Watch List).
Auto-watch bids
Add the item to the Watch List
when a bid is made for an item. This is the default.
