Sold items not removed from site
Help please.
when I have multiple sales to one buyer and the items are paid and shipped eBay is not removing the listings and still shows them
for sale.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have called eBay several times and problem does not resolve.

·2 years agoQuantity listings that are sold out (i.e. available quantity is zero) can remain in your Active listings page (this is an option in case you will be restocking later), but should not be visible to others viewing your items. If you log out of your account, can you find your items for sale? I see that you have 62 listings at this moment.

OP2 years agoThese are auction listings with a Buy it Now. So no quantity is or can be listed. Also they still are part of the 62 item you are seeing. See item 305515641439. I have had this occurring for weeks. I called ebay 5 times and was always told the IT people were checking on this. I just notice there is an out of stick posing with the current 15 or so sold items (is this the best ebay can do ?). I still must go to each item one at a time and end listing. Great!! I can not believe I the only seller having this happen.

OP2 years agoThese are not quantity lising (auctions with Buy it Now). The sold items still show see item 305515641439. After 5 calls to ebay being told IT people were checking on this, I now see that the current weeks sold items have an out of stock notice, however I still nee to go and end auctions one at a time. Great solution!

·2 years agoNothing to alert IT about...
it is there but you simply can't buy or bid on it
(the buttons/options are missing)
go here
https://www.ebay.com/uas/selling-pref
turn 'off' (slider) the 'out of stock' feature....
"Listings stay active when you're out of stock."
it appears that the toggle must be 'on' for you

·2 years agoOkay, yes, I do see that one now. However, in addition to what @monica-sells has pointed out (that there's no way to actually buy that item), there is also a banner line placed by eBay reading, "This listing was ended by the seller on Wed, Apr 17 at 11:37 AM because the item is no longer available." Did you end it manually? I can see that you have Goodyear misspelled as "GOODYEAY" in the listing title, so I was wondering if you had ended that manually in order to post a corrected listing...?
Are there any other listings that sold to a buyer, but are still appearing?

OP2 years agoEbay posted the notice that item was sold as a stopgap solution. It told me to manually remove item. Sorry about typo (that what I get for listing items late a night). Sill have not resolve issue, but at least Ebay is acknowledged it is on there end. Can't believe that an IT dept. can't resolve quickly. Ebay must have cut staff back . I can't be only seller with the issue.

·2 years agoWell, no, that notice states that you ended it because it was no longer available: "This listing was ended by the seller on Wed, Apr 17 at 11:37 AM because the item is no longer available." It shows as a Completed (i.e. ended) item, but not a Sold one.
What was the actual disposition of that item? Did you get a buyer for it on eBay in the usual way?
Do you have any other listings that sold normally but are still showing in your active listings?

OP2 years agoThe item were sold and paid for. But Ebay then list the item as anew listing on its own.. I have to end the listing myself, since item is no longer available. This has been happening for about 5 weeks, I've has called over and aver and told the issue is with the IT dept. It's making it very hard to sell on ebay. I was trying to see if other Sellers were having this issue. When I call I am told that "this should be happening" Do you think!. However to date it is still occurring.

·2 years agoWhen you ship are you adding tracking or just utilizing the mark as "Shipped" option.
Also, is it your auctions or buy it now...could you post up an example item # that is sold but showing as available?
