Lists functionality broken

[wickmesh]

I make extensive use of lists to make purchasing decisions and to track items I've already seen.
As of yesterday, lists functionality is broken on ebay.co.uk. The blue bar at the top (allowing you to add to watchlist and tracking which list the item is in) is missing. This makes it near impossible to track if the item is in a list at all, let alone which list it is in. The little heart icon only works for the main watchlist - and frankly isn't good enough for that either; it's not obvious enough.

(This is on top of the other recent changes that are unhelpful or infuriating - removing the "Watch this item" link from that bar before it disappeared. The blooming Captcha thing I am getting repeatedly now while just trying to use the site - it's even now appearing when I try to pay for items. Hiding the sold price on many items; researching sold prices was an extremely useful feature for both buyers and sellers. The sponsored shop grey bar now appeatring at the top of many listings wasting screen space. Obsvication of relisted items "We found something similar" - no you found something in roughly the same category at an outrageously expensive price that I'd never buy. It's as if ebay is trying to make itself even worse.)

I'm not sure if you are seeing the same details page as mine but the watch & lists are controlled from either of the heart icon on the picture (adds to watch list) or click the down mark to pick one or more lists to add the item to them.  All these functions are dependent on being logged in as I understand it.

The blue bar at the top (allowing you to add to watchlist and tracking which list the item is in) is missing. This makes it near impossible to track if the item is in a list at all, let alone which list it is in.

If you click on the caret icon on the right side of the add to list button you should see a drop-down menu of your lists, along with a check mark to indicate if the item is on one of your lists.

While it is not as immediate and as convenient as the blue bar at the top of the listing, that should allow you to at least keep track of which list(s) an item is on.

As I said, I use lists extensively and I am fully aware of the drop down menu (it would be impossible to use lists without it, surely?) - and the heart (which I talk about in my original post).

Using the drop down menu for this doesn't work - in fact this functionality is also broken - it has been broken for a long time (and the blue bar made it being broken not an issue). When I click on that drop down list, it shows ALL lists that are full (have 200 or more items in them) as black with a tickmark beside them, not just the list (or lists) that the item is in. It used to be that the list title would say "[List name] is full" and only any lists that the item was actually in were ticked, but that was so long ago I cannot say how long ago it was.

As such it's impossible to tell which list (or lists) an item is in with this method - it could be in a list that is already full or one that is not.

Even if this worked it would be also a utter pain - I have 38 lists (probably 25 of which I use regularly) and scrolling through to find which list an item is in *for every single item I look at* would take so long that it would not be worth trying.

(Note as well that the limit of 200 items allowable in a list has *also* been broken for a long time. If I add items directly from one list to another, I can add more than 200 items to a list - that limit was 400 items per list, but very recently that has increased to an even larger number; I have seen individual lists with over 500 items in them. Hence why I have so many "full" lists, as they contain way more than 200 items.)

(Another thing that's broken - quite often clicking on the drop down arrow is interpreted by ebay as adding the item to your watchlist - while the blue bar was there this bug was just annoying as it was easy enough to quickly click to remove the item - but now I have to have a seperate tab open with the watchlist sorted by "Recently added" in order to find and delete it. And then I have the stupid problem that deleting from the watchlist automatically deletes the item from all my lists - why can ebay not ask as it does with all other lists!)
