Trying to list something but it's driving me nuts!

Yes the frustration of free listing weekend. I created some items I wanted to lsit this morning but it has taken me ages just to get it to upload.
I have saved some as I am not a great fan of free listings weekends as a seller. Great as a buyer.

try listing as make up gift set BNIB
keep it really simple
then edit it tomorrow?

Likewise with pictures - bang your listing up then add them tomorrow;)

Perhaps you could list without photos and put 'photo to follow' in your description? I've done that today as i have run out of time and patience!

I did consider, but I cant add pictures if I leave it until tomorrow. I can only add to listing once listed unless I go straight back into the listing to edit (usually the first hr after listing) which I've tried this eve and I get the same upload issue

I cant, I seem to have a time limit in editing listings so if I leave it until tomorrow I'll have to wait for a relist option in order to add the picture

I thought you could edit your listing up to the last 24 hours as long as there were no bids on it?

its 12hrs....to add to it but I've never been able to edit listings which has driven me nuts in the past when I notice typo's


anyways, just had a goo drun and listed 5 things pretty easily but now I'm failing at the upload but again *head-desk*

Lol, and there was me wondering what a goo drun was - sorry, it's been a long day

Why can't you edit? What happens? If no-one has bid you really should be able to up to 12 hours as you said yourself. If something is going wrong contact ebay.

Be careful- editing auctions listed on a free listing weekend often results in a charge. They tried to fix the loophole wher epeople could put up blank auctions and then go back at their leisure to edit in the details.

Glad I'm not the only one having problems uploading pictures! I've just listed all my auctions anyway, and will edit them tomorrow to add pictures. It's really annoying though

Like many others making the most of the free listing weekend to list an unwanted gift on Ebay. It's a sealed mascara/eye shadow set.
Well it just won't let me list, I have tried everything including not posting abroad but I keep getting the same message. The annoying thing is other people have successfully listed identical items under 'health & beauty' - 'make up tools' - 'sets and kits'
This is the message I get - any ideas? I am not selling any of the banned makes...

You cannot submit your listing due to the following problems
Cher Vendeur,
A la suite d’une d!cision de justice rendue le 03 septembre 2010, eBay est contraint d’interdire aux utilisateurs, jusqu'à nouvel ordre, de vendre des produits de parfumerie et cosm!tiques des marques des soci!t!s Guerlain, Parfums Givenchy, Kenzo Parfums et Parfums Christian Dior.

Merci de vous assurer que votre annonce est conforme à cette interdiction.

Nous vous souhaitons beaucoup de succès sur eBay.

I had this problem a couple of years ago, except I couldn't even bid on items that were subject to the French eBay rulings, let alone list them - and I mean items that were listed on eBay UK that everyone else could bid on. I spent countlesss hours with eBay trying to get it sorted to no avail. No-one could find out why my UK account had the French restrictions on it, or how to get them taken off.

In the end I had to set up a second eBay account and use that; very annoying because of my feedback count.

I hope that this is just an eBay glitch from an over busy weekend - if not, I'm afraid a second account is the only answer.

Interesting! I wonder if it is because I lived in France for a few years when I first set up my Ebay account - then transferred it to Ebay u.k. when i moved.
