    For anyone planning to list be careful. Ebay is getting very slightly slow- I've lost one listing and although it seems to be working fine again now it might be worth not waiting too long to start listing. Also photobucket appears to be suffering as well with resizing etc taking longer than usual.

  • I received this email and listed a few items yesterday then I was told I'd reached an amount of 10 I thought I had 100. Does anyone know why this is? Am I being thick? thanks.

    Are you fairly new to selling as if so you have lower limits overall.

    Or is this a silly idea?
    Sounds like a good idea to me, think you should do it. I'd subscribe. I'm a frequent forum user but I'm not in the eBay section all that much, or on eBay all the time, and it is easily possible for me to miss free listing days.

    Yes soolin, only selling the past 2 months. I just tried again to sell another item and it wants me to log back in (I'm already logged in) and takes me to a page about banking and uping my selling amount. I don't understand why I received an email for 100 when it's only allowing me 10, weird. I thought I had nothing better to do than have a massive clearout :), never mind it will keep for next time.

  • The eBay website seems to be extremely 'broken' - I'm simply trying to relist items, but when I get to the final screen, I repeatedly find that the descriptions and images have simply disappeared! :mad:

    Alongside this, I'm getting 'web page unavailable' and sign in prompts after every few clicks. Clearing the cache, cookies etc has no effect. In total, it's taken almost 90 minutes to simply relist 20 items! If I try to amend the listing after it's posted, the photos and description disappear again!

    All other websites are running fine, so it's unique to eBay. I even tried switching off and on twice, with no improvement. I was going to add a few new items, but frankly it's not worth the trouble!

    Is anyone else having problems?

    None at all for listing on my private account- but I am struggling to link via paypal on my business account to get postal addresses.
