Using My eBay for Guests (Watch List)

As a registered member of eBay, you can save your searches, sign up to receive an email when a new item from one of your saved searches is listed, and track and manage all of your eBay activities from one place—My eBay.

If, however, you haven't registered yet, you can use My eBay for Guests to keep track of items in a Watch List and to subscribe to email reminders about your watched items.

Once you register, you can move the items from My eBay for Guests to your new My eBay registered account.

To get started, go to My eBay for Guests or click the My eBay button at the top of most pages then click the I’m A Guest button.

Watching Items

As a guest, you can track up to 10 items that you’re interested in buying. (As a registered user, you can watch up to 200 items.)

Important: When you use My eBay for Guests, other users on the same computer can also view and delete your watched Items.

  • To add an item to your Watching list, click the Watch this item link on any item page.

  • To view the list of items you’re watching, click the My eBay button at the top of most pages.
    Note: As a guest, you can view Items I'm Watching list only on the computer from which you added the items.

  • To bid on an item in your Items I'm Watching list, click the Bid Now button.

  • To delete an item from your Items I'm Watching list, select the checkbox next to the item, and then click the Delete button.

Moving Watched Items to your My eBay registered account

Once you register, you can move your watched items from My eBay for Guests to your new My eBay registered account.

To move items once you’ve registered:
  1. Sign out of your My eBay registered account.

  2. Click the My eBay button located at the top of most pages.

  3. Review your Watching list. If there are any items you don’t want to keep, delete them from the list.

  4. Click the Sign In button. The items are added to your My eBay page.
    Important: To move your items, you must use the Sign In button, not the Sign In link at the top of the page.
