honestly im so over this app. my logic was that there would be a simple export button but nope. i need to move my whole 50 item housewarming list to my new account before moving next week and i cant find anything. is there a way to actually transfer it or do i have to manually re-add everything?...
Just saw this thread and wanted to chime in because i dealt with a similar mess last year. Amazon doesnt really make it easy to just click a button and move things which is super frustrating. You have to be really careful not to accidentally delete your progress or lose your links during the transition. Heres what i would suggest to keep it safe:

@Reply #3 - good point! Amazon really does treat our data like it's their property, not ours. I remember back in 2019 when I tried to merge my personal list with my business one and I honestly thought it would take five minutes tops. Fast forward four hours and I was still copy-pasting URLs like a total amateur because the share link kept glitching out. I actually ended up using this free extension which handles the heavy lifting by scraping the product IDs directly. It's much more reliable than the manual way because you don't have to worry about the session timing out or the privacy settings blocking the add to list button on the second account. Basically, you just load the list, hit the export button it adds to your browser, and then you import that file on your new profile. Just double check the quantities after it finishes tho, sometimes it misses those if the item is low on stock. It's a lifesaver when you've got dozens of items like you do for your housewarming stuff. It's worked for me across three different moves now so it's pretty solid.
Honestly its absolutely ridiculous how a trillion-dollar company like Amazon makes basic list management such a total nightmare. Over the years Ive spent thousands there and the platform has arguably gotten worse while they keep hiking up Prime prices every chance they get. It feels like a scam that they lock your data into one account with zero way to migrate it. Here is why it drives me crazy:
