Dearborn Moderator United States 95324 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:19 pm Twice now I get a message from the Bay management saying that a checkout was incomplete! Well, I never started a check out on the particular item, I just put it on my watch list. So what gives? This is the message from ebay This is the item on my 'watch list' make note that it is NOT my cart... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3468 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:29 pm What do you see when you click on "View Item"? Does ebay show you as the winning bidder? Quote: I always have dozens of items in my watch list and have never been 'prodded' by ebay. Ditto. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95324 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:31 pm I didn't click on it. BRB, I'll give it a try.. And yes I always have no less that 10 items on my list, only got this message twice (so far). Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95324 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:36 pm This is the first tome ebay sent me a message And this is what I get when I click on the 'view item' link So is this a new tactic to get sales?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95324 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:38 pm as you can see, the item shown after I click the link leads me to an item I NEVER had on my list.. If you look in the box with the ! and some text in it (just above the 'PR66 1962 25C Washington Silver Proof Quarter, PCGS Secure- Beautifully Toned') you can see in small print the 1937 proof Washington quarter from the previous page where the link was...

captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:50 pm I've had this happen when I add something to the cart, but then don't buy it. Adding it to the cart does not oblige you to purchase, so ebay starts sending you encouragement to complete the purchase. I think if you delete the item from the cart, they'll stop bugging you.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95324 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:52 pm Ok, I can 'buy' that explanation, but why lead me to an item I did not look at? Collecting since 1972.

jbuck Moderator United States 187950 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:55 pm Dearborn... unrelated photo tip... You are using Windows 10... try using [WIN] [SHIFT] [S] to get a screen capture instead of taking photos of your screen. It will be much easier for us to see.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95324 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 5:08 pm ignoring it is easy, getting their messages is annoying, and Now, I feel like I walked into a used car lot and getting bombarded by sales persons.
