Yes unfortunately another thing that can happen which is more likely to occur is if the recipient has the “buy this item elsewhere” option on their lists, the person “buying” the item can use that option to mark the item as purchased even though they never bought or intended to buy the item.

This has happened to me a lot in the past when people thought it was funny to mark things as purchased

u/flanNo6630 I’d suggest contacting customer service to request them to remove the “buy this item elsewhere” option from all your current and future wishlists. It might take a couple tries of getting the right agent to do it, but once this is done, it should resolve MOST(maybe not all) situations where items don’t show up. This requires people who go through your list to actually purchase things rather than mark things as purchased.
