I don't believe in ghosts or ghost listings.I always think it has to be human error.Well I just experience my first ghost listing.Item #196988208224 Kawasaki carburetor.I only had one of these.I listed it and it sold on 5-14-25Over the weekend I came across and ACTIVE listing for that same carburetor!!! WHAT???I am now convinced that ghost listings do exist.The ghost listing had a different item number. Item #226265263692.I did a little investigating.At some point after listing that carburetor I revised it and made some changes.I changed the price, the shipping and some of the description.Apparently rather than "revise" I must have clicked on "sell a similar item" and created a new listing with the changes I wanted.The original listing sold and I was left with the "ghost listing", a ghost listing that was a mistake and totally my fault.My feelings are still that human error is more likely than a ghost listings.
