HEADS UP ... the Gremlins are at it again ... glitch time eBay style

So woke up today with two notifications from eBay that I had listings on two of my ids that violated their policies.

 

"Some of your listings need to be updated in order to comply with eBay policies or security changes.

What do you need to do?
We’ve identified the listings that need to be changed to meet our updated standards.

  • 6 of your listings contain(s) contact information such as phone number, email address or weblinks, which is in violation of listing policies. Non-compliant listings will soon be blocked."

 

 

There were 6 listed on one id and 3 on another.  Now I know I don't have any of the above mentioned items in my listings ... no contact info ... no links.  In fact these listing have been out there for over a month with no problems.  Then it dawned on me, all of these listings are "Good Till Canceled".  So I think there is a problem with these types of listings right now.  It isn't straight across the board because I have "Good Till Canceled" listings on my third id and so far have not received a "warning".

 

I have called eBay and let them know about the problem.  So just a heads up in case you get a warning.  My advice is to call eBay if you do, other wise you could end up with listings pulled or defects on your record.

 

Fun, fun, fun!

They have to quit putting ebay in with a room full of monkeys.

I checked mine.  The only "missing" fields were non-applicable to the listings they were missing from.  I don't think FeedBag knows what to do with vintage items these days.

Got another notice this morning.  I think I figured out the issue that dates back to 2015 and has to do with the Seller Hub and apparently fixed priced items this time around:

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Seller-Hub/Tip-How-to-change-your-My-eBay-link-to-go-to-Seller...

 

Which is cool EXCEPT ... since Seller Hub is no longer in beta and is required you can't opt out and then back end.  So since they asked how well the did ... I let them know.  Don't get me wrong the customer rep I spoke to was excellent, it wasn't the rep ... it is eBay's system.  So what else is new.  Aggravation!

Sandy,  

   Unless you are using the AUCTION format,  aren’t all of our listings GOOD UNTIL CANCELLED now?

Yes.  I do the majority right now as auctions.  However, I have listed some as good til canceled.  Some of those are the ones being tagged as in violation.  So far today, no notice, so maybe they have it ironed out.  I sure hope so.
