Delete items from Watch List feature?

[fonaticalbuyer]

Hi Mario,

Any possibility of an option to 'Delete Items From Watch List? Y/N' when using the 'Import Watch List' feature?

I use my eBay Watch List as a bridge between Gixen and the eBay searching tool that I use (Prospector) .

Prospector is many wonderful things and highly recommended - despite being Windows only, but it's tied to Internet Explorer for its browsing engine so I can't install AutoSnipe and simply add snipes to Gixen that way.

As it stands I may add up to 50 items to my watch list from Prospector and subsequently import them into Gixen - which works fine. But then I have to manually go through and delete items from the Watch List in My eBay. It would be great if [optionally] Gixen could do this for me at the time of importing from eBay.

Cheers,

Steve

Sorry, but no, for several reasons. The first one is that this is a very specific feature that would not be easy to implement and maintain, and that not many users would use anyway. The second one is that I don't want to make any feature that would modify user's account in any way.

But apart from those perfectly reasonable & understandable points, it's an OK idea?

That makes sense Mario.

Cheers,

Sure it is Steve,

And you can probably achieve that functionality by combining Gixen and eBay API (one should check that this is OK with eBay's API policies, which may depend on the purpose of the application you are making).

All this, of course, involves significant development effort and cost, which may not be worth the benefit you are getting from it.
