Import Watch list not working

[jobob777]

I have used the Import Watchlist feature successfully a couple of days ago but now it is not working yesterday or today for me. The browser appears to be working on it but then nothing is imported. What is going on?

[Cupid]

Do you have any Buy It Now items in your Watch List? Those are not imported.

Are all the items in your Watch List already present as snipes on Gixen, from when you last imported it?

Is jobob777 your eBay id?

Can you give some examples of auctions (the numbers) that are in your Watch List but are not being imported?

babolino,

Have you already bid on these items, if so for technical reasons they can not be imported either.

Thanks for answering,
I have'nt bid on any of them,I only bid through gixen ,.and some of them are unique items not relisted or something like that.

[Cupid]

OK,

Did the import watch list used to work for you... and now doesn't?.. This would be an indication that it is an Ebay change and not something to do with your account.

Mario will need to look at it when he gets some time... It looks like he is busy at the moment so that might take a few days...

Yes, it used to work but since some days ago it isn't.

Thanks for your work

[hogmaw]

Imports not working for me either since a couple of days ago. No settings changed from my side. I have to add the listings manually using the ebay ID numbers example 190969637906

[mario]

hogmaw, I added this item to my watchlist and then imported it without issues. Have you already placed a bid on this item? If so, it will not be imported from the watchlist. If not, please email me and include your username.

[hogmaw]

OK still can't get imports to work, it has been fine for many months until now. Please try this one, I haven't bid on it and along with others that aren't importing it's in my ebay watchlist, my ebay user ID is hogmaw - 221320379254

[babolino]

I can add any item one by one but not import the watch list :.(
I'm going to change the password and see if it does any difference

[babolino]

nope,it doesn't

[newbie12345]

It works fine for me.
But after you did the import I have to edit a listing or press purge completed (or maybe refresh the page) and then the new items show up.

[babolino]

that doesn´t work for me either

[mario]

Let me investigate this.

[mario]

Please try again now and let me know if import still doesn't work for you.

[babolino]

sadly it still doesn't work

[hogmaw]

Still not working, I can't import anything from My Ebay watchlist, nothing happens.

[mario]

Let me take another look into your accounts.

[sammaajiva]

Just another "Me Too" post.

I cannot import my Watch or Gixen list. I have not bid on any items and there are no BIN items.

I am based in the UK

[mario]

A quick update: It seems that eBay has an alternate format for the watchlist page that is shown to some users, and not to others. I will be working on fixing this in the next week or so. In the meantime, please enter items manually with item id.

[Guest]

Thanks Mario I hope it's not too tricky for you. Ebay don't make things easy do they.

[Cupid]

[mario]

Please try again, I believe that watchlist import is fixed and working now.

[babolino]

YESssss it is working for me.

Thanks a lot

[hogmaw]

Fixed for me too! Well kind of - most items imported fine (thanks Mario!) but for some reason these didn't:

Could not add item 221327461628.

Could not add item 200997083148.

[mario]

Message "Could not add item" means that Gixen could not fetch auction info at the import time. What happens if you retry import? It should add those remaining two items if you try again.

[hogmaw]

Tried again and they still don't import; also there are some new items on My Ebay watchlist that won't import either:

Could not add item 221327461628.

Could not add item 171186006367.

Could not add item 200998112535.

Could not add item 200997083148.

Could not add item 380786337835.

Could not add item 190992735201.

[mario]

hogmaw, please try again now. Watchlist items titles were not escaped properly, so all items that contain ' failed to import. It's fixed now.

[hogmaw]

Still the same javascript:emoticon('')

Could not add item 221327461628.

Could not add item 171186006367.

Could not add item 200998112535.

Could not add item 200997083148.

Could not add item 380786337835.

Could not add item 190992735201.

Could not add item 390717734345.

[mario]

My mistake, sorry about that, please try again now.

[hogmaw]

Works!

Many thanks

[hogmaw]

Problem has arisen again, some items import but not all of them. For instance, this is one that won't import, I've tried 3 times:

301076023195

[Cupid]

hogmaw,

Please can you confirm that it is not you that has placed a bid on that item.

Also could you let us know how many items that you have in total in your Ebay Watch list?
