How to Create a Wishlist on eBay
A wishlist on eBay is more useful than the heart icon alone — you can organize, share, and track items across time.
Create a new list
From your account menu, choose Wishlists or Lists, then Create new. Name it ("Gifts", "Home", etc.).
Add items
Click the heart icon on any product page; choose which list to add to. You can move items between lists later.
Organize and prioritize
Reorder items or add notes — useful when sharing with family who need to know which version you wanted.
Share the list
Generate a shareable link or invite specific people. Some lists let viewers mark items as "purchased" to avoid duplicates.
Frequently asked questions
Can other people see what I bought from my wishlist?
Usually yes — viewers can mark items as purchased.
Do wishlist items go on sale automatically?
No. eBay may email you about price drops; the discount applies at checkout.
