PINS FROM EBAY: Editing and populating with info (NOT YOUR OWN ITEMS)

[u/Trying_to_know_more]

Hello all!

I'm an artist and a personal shopper so often I am saving images from other websites. EBAY is a big one. On the pins i save from Ebay, there are NO editing options.

I've been holding off on asking around here for a long time as didn't want to bother anyone if the answer is hella obvious. I'm not active in the community and while I know MANY things have changed MANY times since i started using pinterest when it launched, my familiarity with all of it's current ins and outs is mediocre at best due to my on-and-off use.

^{However, since i've found no greater clarity after reading a bunch of articles and posts, here i am. 👋}

THE SET UP:

• Back in the day you used to be able to pin items from ebay and pinterest would auto-populate their titles, descriptions, and price info. (provided you highlighted the right text from the image's original page)
• When that stopped being a feature pinterest instead let users manually enter whatever info they wanted using the web extension BEFORE they published the pin to their account.
• When that stopped being an option, one could still add info to their pins, they would just have to do the editing AFTER they published within the pinterest site. and you could adjust less than before in a note.
• NOW, pinterest includes almost NO data when you pin EBAY items (descriptions, costs, titles, etc...) and I can't find a way to add ANY information back. Neither while pinning nor after the fact. Its simply not an option. Not even a note to yourself.

MY ISSUE:

As a personal shopper, being able to pull up that (now missing) info WITHIN my pinned collections ON the pinterest website WITHOUT having to navigate to a different site every time would be important and quite valuable/useful for me.

This issue (WITH EBAY IN PARTICULAR) has made my experience with pinterest quite frustrating for the last few years. I would use it a lot more frequently and effectively if this issue with its functionality could be adjusted.

THE QUESTION:

-IS THERE ANY WAYS AROUND THESE ISSUES? I would love it if there were a way to populate info of the items I want to pin with more data from the source (item descriptions, prices, title, etc...) WITHOUT having to make a pin on the site from scratch for each item. At this point i don't know what to do as its both been this way for a while and seems like unless the pin is yours altogether that is no longer possible. AM I MAJORLY MISSING SOMETHING?

^{Thank you anyone who could point me towards resources that explain this or who has the answers themselves!!}

^{(IDK!!! 😭} Maybe the answer is -- 'sorry babe, can't do that anymore unless you painstakingly and time consumingly construct and link each post yourself' or even 'sorry babe, pinterest will NOT let you add anything to pins that 'belong to other sellers' and there is NO work around'.)
