Where can I see items I recently viewed?

You can access items you recently viewed in the mobile app. Just look for your Recent views option in the icons menu, just below the search bar.

 

Can I search on Wish without an account?

If you don't want to make an account, you can browse the marketplace or search for specific items here.

There are many benefits to starting a Wish account including saving your favorite items to Wishlists and keeping track of your Order History all in one place.

 

How do I hide an item on my feed?

Your feed will display items we think you might like on the marketplace based on items you’ve previously searched for, viewed, purchased, or added to your Wishlist. At this time, you cannot hide items from your feed. 

We encourage our customers to express their opinions about products they may find offensive and you’re welcome to report items you find inappropriate. Please note that some sex/sensuality products and listings containing certain sexual content are permitted to be sold on Wish.

The item I want is out of stock. What should I do?

We understand how important it is to get the right item and how frustrating it can be when it’s out of stock. 

If the item you want is unavailable through the listing you’re currently viewing, we recommend using the search feature to look up the product name. Many stores on Wish offer the same or similar items, so you may find what you’re looking for in stock at another store.
