My Recently Viewed page is full of my own listings?
Anyone else getting this?
I was looking for something yesterday and though this morning I must go back and resume my search to compare some listings I had viewed. I found it really hard as interspersed in my recently viewed items were my own listings, that I have not recently viewed or edited in any way.
Had this happen the other day too and gave up as I couldn't find what I knew I had recently viewed. I can't understand why my not viewed listings would be there.

Yes ditto. I never really use it but did notice this option. Could explain it?
When I hit No, everything disappeared.

Unfortunately not. That switch is actually poorly worded as it refers to all recently viewed items not My recent listings. If you have the switch turned to NO, it doesn't remember any listings at all. It really should say Remember all recently viewed listings. Not 100% sure, but I don't think it ever showed your own recent listings, unless you had viewed them, until now.

Ah I see. Could you access them instead from the bottom of the new look homepage? There it is called "Look again" For me though it has only saved 10 items. Not sure if that means I have only looked at 10 recently or if that's all it records. But at least my own items don't show up there.

Unfortunately the look again doesn't work the same and yes, it only has 10 items, and none of those are my recently viewed items. They seem to be things I looked at a week ago. Never to mind.

Any update Trademe on maybe fixing this? I had a couple of items from a couple of days ago I particularly wanted to go back to today, but alas, recently viewed was full of my own recently listed items, not any of the recently viewed items I wanted to look at again.

Gee, this is really annoying when you want to go back to a listing you had forgotten to put on your watchlist, but all you get is mostly your own listings. It may as well no9t even be there if it doesn't work as intended. Surely it's an easy fix to actually show recently viewed items, yet 10 months later it's just the same.

Plus 12 months to that and it still isn't fixed.
The algorithm also shows our own Items as been Items we might be interested in too which has to be a joke and a half - April Fools day must be year round.
