eBay Glitch 'Disappears' Active Listings

by: pace306

"This listing (**********) has been removed, or this item is not available."

I've had that error a few times - plus others. I called eBay and they told me that I was crazy - its all perfectly fine.

I was also unable to revise active listings. They couldnt be viewed or revised from "my eBay". Yuo had to go and search for the item via the main search bar and then once it popped up you could THEN revise it.

eBay must be running some kind of test(s) AGAIN with out telling people.

The Neg Meg Whitman philosophy of "get it up now and worry about getting it right (much) later" or never continues.

Glitches that damage sellers are the norm for ebafia, and they or may not get fixed. Glitches that damage ebafia get higher priority if their on the cheap 'techs' can figure how to correct code problems.

Amazon seldom if ever suffers from problems this. Why won't ebafia copy Amazon in this area?

A search of "Amazon Outage" at the top of THIS page says otherwise!

I had this tonight when I was tweeting and pinning my items.  Next time I'll get a screen shot. I thought i hit a bad key

Day 6 of zero sales....3500+ active items with 75 currently in auction...no buy-it-now sales and not 1 bid yet on any of the live auctions which end today.  This has never happened to this degree in 16 years....something is going on.

@ Scotty

Can I see your listings?

75 items with NO bids?

3500 Buy it Now and no sales in 6 days?

What are you selling?

I too have had this happen many times over the last few days.  If I back out of the error screen and try again I get to my listing and I can revise it.  That certainly doesn't excuse Ebay, it is just a work around that I discovered and thought I should share.

It seems to be happening to me randomly - with the frequency of these glitches occurring more often.

Its funny though, the first rep I spoke to said it was a VERO action, then apologized when she had to admit there's been no VERO action on my account in AGES!

I still have 2-3 items out of about 300 that cant be viewed via "my eBay".

@ Tool

As usual, wrong.

Improve your reading comprehension and then come back.

This glitch happened to me.  And another one to report ...

Clicked on "see my other items" and instead linking to  my store listings ... It linked to eBay Home Page.

Just a thought, does Aamzon show all listings all the time?

I wouldn't know because I never go on the site. . .

I'm a proud eBay seller, no Amazon for me!

Look at all the ebays problems collectively and you will see a company in a slow agonizing death spiral.

I had to call Ebay because my items were coming up with: "This item has been removed from Ebay and is no longer for sale." I was told they would report it. Items were a music box, vintage dishes, jewelry, and stuff like that adn all in top condition. Nothing that would offend anyone.

 I have been having same issue. If I click the second time, item usually comes up.
 Unfortunately, a lot of buyers don't know to click the second time.

This has been going on for DAYS!!!
PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WITH OUR LISTINGS seriously ??? It's takes three times or more attempts to get the listing to show up!!
WHY PAY TO PLAY THIS RIDICULOUS GAME TO SELL?? AND WASTE TIME TO BUY?
Frustrated sellers don't SHOP OR BUY!!
Buyers are losing interest + time and sellers are wasting money + time listing !!!
NO ONE WINS EXCEPT EBAY!

Tool - I'll answer for Ming (hopefully With his permission)......

Yes, all items are always attached to the specific ASINs unless YOU remove it via Seller Central.

You probably will not get the buy box (if you don't have the right metrics) and it may not get shown to Prime members if it's not in FBA .

DROP the term 'glitch'.  It is a programming error.  The platform is doing exactly as the programmer told it today.  To use 'glitch' implies the platform just randomly did something on its own.

This is what you get when the company is hiring the dregs of the IT community in the Bay Area
