As a registered member of eBay, you can save your favourite searches, sign up to receive an email when a new favourite item 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.
As a guest, you can watch up to 10 items. (As a registered user, you can watch up to 100 items.)
Important: When you use My eBay for Guests, other users on the same computer can also view and delete your Watched Items.
To watch an item, click the “Watch this item” link at the top right of 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 your watch list only on the computer from which you added the items.
To bid on an item in your watch 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 click the Delete button.
You can sign up to receive an email reminder a few hours before items in your watch list end.
Note: This option is only available if you have at least one watched item.
From the My eBay for Guests page, click the “Sign up for Watched Item emails” link.
Enter your email address in the box, and click the Continue button. You’ll receive a confirmation email from eBay to verify your address.
Follow the instructions in the email to confirm. You will then receive email reminders for the items in your watch list. Note: If you add more items to your watch list later, you will need to re-enter and re-confirm your email address to receive reminders for those new items. If you’d like eBay to remember your email information and to access all the features in My eBay, please register.
Once you register, you can move your watched items from My eBay for Guests to your new My eBay registered account.
Sign out of your My eBay registered account.
Click the My eBay button located at the top of most pages.
Review your Item's I'm Watching list. If there are any items you don’t want to keep, delete them from the list.
Click the Sign In button (not the sign in link at the top of the page). 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.
