I just checked an item on my Watch List. I get "This listing ( xxxxxxxx) has been removed, or this item is not available. Please check that you've entered the correct item number. Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing."

This has been going on for over an hour now! It's a live auction with 2 bids ending in a 1 1/2 hours. What gives here?!?! I'm going to be watching the activity on this auction, if any???

This is absolutely unacceptable eBay!!! And they're rating us!!!

Ina....I have screen shots of both issues that I reported here today if you would like me to produce them?

Have a great weekend everybody (?)

We've been getting that message for both auction & fixed price items we're watching.We also often get the message when we do test searches looking for some of our own items.When doing frequent searches for our own store &/or seller ID, we often get messages indicating that they do not exist. In these various "sabotaged" searches, sometimes there is a brief message about the non-existence of the item/seller/store but sometimes there is a weird message that offers help finding other items/sellers.

It happened tonight (July 19, 2016). I received reports from two bidders. One reported "Hello. When I click on the listing link for this in my Watch List, and also the listing image, I get: --This listing (redacted) has been removed... This is surely dissuading and confusing some potential bidders. This has been happening with a number of people's listings lately. eBay should hear from more sellers and buyers about this bug. I CAN get to the actual listing by clicking on BID NOW."

Yup me too, lots of stuff is invisible and missing, on both ends, my items and watched items. The sickest part is they show up, but when i tried to bid this message shows up WTH?!
