Hello Ronald,
Thank you for your question about Watched items. You can add an item for a bid of 0.01 and it will retain it. I'll put your suggestion on the board, we just have to think of a way to present it to customers.
We used to have it this way and then people thought they missed snipes. Also, a lot of people have hundreds of items and it makes the display messy.
I'll try to think of a way to present this, but for now, you can add a bid of $0.01. The Add Snipe box will let you place a low bid.
Is this acceptable for now?
