New Listings Not Showing Despite Saying Your Listing Is Now Live

Summary: Participants in a discussion reported issues with eBay listings not appearing as active despite receiving confirmation messages. Many users across different regions experienced similar problems, with listings disappearing or not transitioning from drafts. An official response indicated that the issue is known, and a solution is being worked on. Some participants later mentioned that their listings eventually appeared, though concerns about auction allowances and duplicate listings remain.

I just listed a couple items, 1 fresh and 1 from my drafts, in both cases the screen read "Your Listing Is Now Live" yet neither item is live, and the one I had in drafts is gone completely. I searched on eBay and everywhere on my listings but cannot find these items. Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions? Thanks

19:39 Sep23: Having the same issue; trying to add ~10 listings to an eBay live and they seem to be publishing but not available in my dashboard. They're somewhere because if I try to relist I get a duplicate flag, but they aren't showing in my listings. Going live in 20 minutes so not ideal!


UPDATE: Also when I try to add listings to my eBay live I'm getting 'Something went wrong. Please try again.' errors

Having the same issue... I redid one listing and it is now live. I am hoping it does not create a duplicate listing.

Having the same issue and those items "relisted" still show in Inactive. In addition, an auction ended without a bid and disappeared rather than go to Inactive.


I read the canned response posted; be nice if they could actually reply without canned responses and offer genuine help.

Same issue for a few of our recent listings, except we were able to click the "View Listing" link in the pop up when you list an item, and it takes us to a live item page with an item number, so they do exist but aren't showing in searches or our Active listings page.

If it's live, it has a item number.

What's the item number?

Hey @chicweb ! Our Product team is aware that the issue of seller's ended listings, newly listed listings and relisted listings are not showing in active listing page or draft listings page or in inactive section.

Not sure how to notify eBay so posting here. Hi eBay, seems to be a problem with items getting listed. Have tried a few times and items are not showing anywhere and not getting a confirmation email the item was listed - can you please look into this, thanks
