EANS not valid - help

Anyone else having problems today? Just trying to relist some items however I'm getting invalid EAN, digit missing, on most of my items. These were accepted a month ago without problem. Checked each one and they are 100% correct, items are genuine too. Any idea? Is it ok just to go ahead and list with 'not applicable' even though they have EANs as I don't really know what else I can do.

    Just realised its only for multi variation listings so product numbers are still required for listings. All the numbers being rejected are 12 digit numbers, they are all correct and all items are genuine (some were from Argos!) Will try listing without the number and see if listing accepted

    I have given up trying to add any and always list without. I just put not required or something similar.

    Fed up with blasted EANs that just don't get accepted.
