Listing can not be revise and update , All Of Sudden???

First off, kudos for providing a screen shot AND an item number - it is critical info to see what might be going on 🙂

It may be a transient eBay Seller Hub glitch, or it MIGHT be a manifestation of recently increased eBay enforcement of listing description policies regarding links and content.

(a visual look at the frame source shows nothing obviously wrong with you description except for a couple of really crazy mangled, incorrect links to Inkfrog that could be confusing the bots, and a lot of external css, some of which like the googleapis one may be a violation as it is not a direct css call)

A couple of partial scans using http://www.isdntek.com/ebaytools/ActiveContentScanner.htm showed nothing amiss, but that isn't conclusive proof that eBay bots don't see something.

It appears lately that those sellers using external listing services/management like yourself may have been sliding by in the past when it comes to those listing description policies. as eBay focused on the SYI individual listing form interface first, throwing warnings at edit or list time, but didn't appear to look at listings uploaded by third party services. It seems they may be catching bulk uploaded listings after the fact now, slowly, but surely in various ways (the Seller Hub revise routins for one)

It's possible that there is something in violation that was allowed by Inkfog and eBay in the bulk upload, but is now being flagged by the new routines in Seller HUB.


A way to test this would be for you to start a normal, small seller "Sell similar" of item 392097721318 using the Advanced listing form and see what errors it throws if any. You would need to change the title and maybe a couple of details to avoid a straight up duplicate listing, and you can probably make it a scheduled listing so as to not have it go live, but still obtain and warnings or error info.

I think this should work (nobody but you can utilize that URL since it's your item):
http://cgi5.ebay.com/ws2/eBayISAPI.dll?SellSimilarItem&itemid=392097721318

(note that all that is speculation based on observations lately - more data via your test(s) and other seller input is required to see if the theory holds)

There are also issues with the old selling page not loading completely and having to be reloaded several times. I also am having problems editing and listing items were the listing page times out as you click to send the listing or changes live.  I had to refresh those pages like the selling old page. Usually when the site starts lagging like this on the weekend they are running updates. Normally this is the only time I run into issues like this using edge on a win 10 pc. I checked the old selling page using chrome and it is doing the same thing. I rather not test the listings page as I do not want to redo and work or changes I have made just to run into this issue and get a screen shot. Even if I did it would just be of the little blue circle spinning endlessly.

I went you your active listings and found the listing in your screen shot that you were editing. I clicked sell now and created a listing using your listing as a template. The only difference was I could not down load one of your pictures on the listing as your listing service blocks this. I had to use a different picture from one of my own listings. I was able to send it live then using the seller hub edit its listing price as you were doing with no problems. Once again I am using a win 10 pc with edge for the browser. 

 

I took some screen shots but they are loading slow and will try back in a few mins
