Thank you Mario, worked like a charm....though it looks like my joy might be short lived if my fate is tied to Newbie12345's experience.

:shock:

markeys-zoo,

Both those are Buy It Now only items which can not be sniped, so you would not expect those to be imported from your Watch List.

2tallhd.mx,

I returned the "Import Gixen list" functionality. It seems to work fine in my tests now.

Oh man...don't scare me like that!

Ebay is horrible for making changes that established users don't like...like the * as a wild-card no longer works...that really hurt.

It is funny how ebay is so different for all users. The screenshot that you show is from an 'older' version of ebay that changed for me a couple weeks ago. Now I only have the option to: Add to watch list & Add to collection.

Wow, I had no idea...I really thought it was a smashing success!

Add to watch list if I am interested in it and if I REALLY want it and the auction is coming up in a few days, click on the drop-down and add to the Gixen list. Go to Gixen, import and whammo done! It was great!

Some auctions I just want to watch to see what the final price is or for some other reason...the Gixen list was fantastic buying decison-making tool.

Either way, with our without the Gixen list...Gixen is GREAT! I reccomend it frequently. Thank you Mario!

2tallhd.mx,

Frankly I didn't know that anyone was still using "Gixen list", vast majority of users found it to complicated to setup another list, and used watchlist instead.

I will see that I re-add it again later on, but first I have to sort out issues with the watchlist that some users are having.

Huh...funny. I still have the option to add items to additional lists and use it regularly. (I just added something a minute ago, see example image below of item #121221176315.) I don't see much having to to with "collections" on the page I see. I guess I'll still have to use the Gixen list and just add them manually...

Since this rather convenient feature has been done away with, is there a suggestion for how to load select items to gixen? (Ebay does a good job of hiding that item number!)

(I just got a cute message indicating that "HTTP Secure" links are on the naughty list in the Gixen forum, add an "s" after the http in the above link.)

Correct, I removed it.

Ebay changed their listing options now that they started with the 'collection' stuff and I don't have the option to add an item to an other list then watchlist. So I think Mario removed it because it doesn't have much use anymore.

I am a regular Gixen user and just noticed today that the "Import Gixen list" button was missing when I went to click on it...I did some digging and no one else reported this.

I usually use IE 9.0 and even tried Chrome, no button.

The Import Watch List button and Purge Completed button, Settings and Logout buttons are all there.

Ideas?
