Anyone having issues with bulk "sell similar" duplicating listings? Safari

For the past week I've been getting duplicated listings by doing my daily end and sell similar of roughly 200 items. eBay catches some and spits them back as errors but 1 or 2 still slip through and I have to find them and remove.

 

Steps:

End 200 listings

Bulk Sell Similar on those listings 

Ebay spits out 1-3 errors per day after the send that says "duplicated listings"

1 to 3 items are still duplicated in my live listings and I have to find which ones they are. Sometimes they are even the ones that showed as an error. Sometimes not.

 

This is in Safari

I'm currently testing on Chrome/PC (still sluggish there,  but no duplicates yet)

How long after ending the listings did you wait?

 

Listings are not closed in real time, They are queued for ending and the latency between your request and the action can vary with load conditions.

 

There are dangers to some of the folklore remedies for poor search placement, as well as uncertainty that they have any effect.

That latency is getting much worse and I'm delaying extra to account for it. Typically ending 200 listings will have all 200 show up in unsold instantly... the past couple of days when I click on unsold there will only be 140ish there, then after a minute or so all 200 will be ended.

 

This is a very new issue for me. I believe ebay is having some massive server issues at the moment. They don't seem to be processing as quickly lately. They had a large outage a few weeks back and my gut says they lost a bunch of servers and aren't back up to speed yet. No proof, just a gut feeling.

 

I've dealt with the occasional dropped photos from my folklore remedies but that taught me to delay the re-listing a bit. These past couple of weeks something is just off across the board and I'm trying to figure out if its just a Safari issue.
