Ebay send message NOT working

Options
Usually after sending an Ebay message I check the SENT box to ensure it was sent.
After sending the same message twice it still has not appeared in the Sent box - is this yet another Ebay glitch.

    Messages are problematic at least at the moment. Most needing you to log in and speak 7 different languages. If you send it again and tick the email to you box, if it comes to you, it should mean it went.

    It seems it's dependant on who you try and send messages to.
    I'm having issues sending messages to one of my buyers (nothing appears anywhere even after ticking the box to email to myself).
    However I'm sending messages to another buyer without any problems.

    No - it sounds like you have a different problem to everyone else.

    Same here, although they've appeared in the sent items this morning, I sent one buyer the same Important message 5 times, as eBay wasn't sending them.

    Looks like its a continuation of the eBay UK message server issues

    I have noticed there are messages against my items, however when I try and open them they are blank, I responded saying I am sorry I can't see the message you have sent me, clicked on the 'post on listing' and you can see them in the listing. Its obviously playing up again!
    Problem is when I sent the first 'sorry your message is blank' it had a fault and said it didn't send, so I sent the same thing this morning. After looking in my listing I can see the customer DID get it and responded then received another one from me - it looks unprofessional!! I did read eBay were having problems somewhere, when people log in its going into a different language - so frustrating
    :p:p Angel :p:p

    I was going to ask a similar question to those above- I don't know if I have a pushy buyer or whether it is eBay messages. I got a message from them yesterday with a question I am trying to resolve, and we exchanged a few messages. However so far today I have received that same initial email three more times, all dated today though. As I said I wasn't sure whether my buyer is being difficult, or the message has just started duplicating.
