Is there no end to the blooming ebay problems?
I have been listing successfully on my business account this weekend but decided to list a couple of bits on my private account.
Firstly i couldn't log in using my new password, so I cleared the cache and cookies and finally got it. Then it thanks me for trying to sell but says I need a paypal account -so I try and link that and I go round in circles. Then I try to upload my photos and get a 'whoops' you need to add additional information to upgrade to a seller account'. I have now spent 20 minutes going through verification twice, with telephone calls giving me PIN numbers. Finally looks ok and I get a message saying:
Welcome to the eBay selling community - you're now ready to start selling.
With millions of buyers on eBay, it's a quick and easy way to sell your stuff and earn some extra money
Only when I do try and list it tells me I need to verify my account in order to sell..arghh, I have only been selling on this account since about 2004

Mine is now doing this!
It let me list two items, but just as I finished my third listing it took me to an endless cycle of sign in pages.Murphy's No More Pies Club #209

Yep, half mine won't upload and some of mine that have been live for ages now have disappeared.

Having the same issues with photos
If you go onto your listing and 'refresh' the page the photo appears, but whether the buyers will bother to do this is another matter
One sale today, eBay really is dying a death for me. I have auctions ending that all have bids, but at the moment they are all going for the starting price which is a lot less than these items have sold for in the past.You're only young once, but you can be immature forever0 -
My issue is duration.
Every time i put 30 days it goes to 7.
I have to change it about 10 times before it stays.
Even then ive noticed a few listings got through at 7 days :mad:0 -
Do you think Ebay could be going bye bye?Blackpool_Saver is female, and does not live in Blackpool0

same here, it keeps knocking out my start price as well, I put a price in and get to the end and it tells me I need to add a price.Blackpool_Saver wrote: »Do you think Ebay could be going bye bye?
No, it's collapsed like this before and give a few weeks and it will all be forgotten. They cost some business sellers with shops thousands of pounds only last year in a different fiasco.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
