This listing was removed because... Can't delete it from inactive listings

I listed my own father's Tommy Hilfiger vintage watch and it was flagged, ok, I have learned over the years it isn't worth fighting it. When I go to remove it from the inactive list it says end listing. You select that and it says "end listing failed try again later". It's annoying if you end other items ended you are working with you have to keep adjusting the list by date. Is there a faster way to report technical issues and actually get it to a tech?

The thing is even if you end it there, it stays in your "Issue Resolution Center FOREVER.

I have no idea how long it has been there with a button asking me to RESOLVE and when I hit END it fails.

So as I see it there is a unresolved strike that should have never been in the first place.

I know this is going to sound strange, but, if you have the eBay app try deleting the listing there.

When I had a similar situation, deleting the listing from the app worked for me.

I was about to post a "me too", having had a magnetic children's game removed by ebay and stuck in my inactive section for weeks now, unable to be deleted.

I opened up the app on my phone, and IT WORKED!!! Finally gone 🙂 Thank you for this.

@judy1503 I'm not sure what you mean by having to adjust the "list by date."

When you end other items, you can adjust the end date and it will fall to the bottom. It really does not matter because you cannot mistakenly select the hidden item and relist it. I ended 400 listings and relisted them recently and I never worried about the one that eBay removed. I know from past experience it falls off after 30 days from the day it was hidden by eBay.

I get that, but why have an option to end it if you really can't.

Have had this issue for MONTHS.

"End listing failed

Please try again later."

Should have never been flagged to begin with and now it is stuck forever.
