Hello I'm posting my question here because I contacted online support to get help without success I've added items to my favorites, which I can find in My eBay > Watched items Photo : https://photos.app.goo.gl/Hqg7Weyrb3aHe9fG7 Here in the example from the screenshot, I have for example 2 products that are displayed with a "Price drop" banner (in fact all the items in this section have this badge and lower displayed prices) The first is displayed at a price of €21.29 with +€19.84 (shipping fees) The second is €8.49 and +€15.69 When I click on the item, I'm redirected to it to add it to my cart; however, the price is not the one I was shown: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UxwDmUj8o9HfoqHD8The first item therefore goes to €25.55 and €23.81 shipping The second €10.13 and +€18.71 When I log in on PC with Chrome, if I go back to the Watched items, I don't see any "Price drop" display.On the phone, eBay explains to me that this is normal, and that I then have to contact the seller to get this price! That seems completely absurd as an answer to me!I know that sometimes, when you're interested in an item by putting it on watch or in your cart, the seller can make an offer in the hours that follow by offering an extra 5 or 10% discount to trigger the purchase, but you find those in "Home" under the "new arrivals" section with a bold red text SELLER OFFER for each listed product; you don't see them in Watched items, it's nothing like that. So: definitely a bug in the app, but is it actually possible to get the items at that price or not?Thanks
