This has been going on now for over five hours.
I was updating my auctions by creating new listings. Usually I choose "Sell Similar" from one of my other auctions, but this time I was blocked by a message:
"Looks like something is missing or invalid. Please fix any issues and try again" and a link to the International Shipping cost
...which I already have on default. After "correcting" it and pushing enter the same message pops up. I tried creating a new template and got the same message.
