Return Policy Specification Error

I attempted to create a new listing, but recieved this error message, and also after each reattempt, despite having a default return policy already saved. 

 

My second attempt at a new listing(different item + listing format) resulted with the same issue. 

 

I've tried the usual layman IT troubleshooting bandaids- changed browser settings, changed browser, restarted cpu, logged out/in/out/in. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Next step in my troubleshooting book is alcohol abuse. No one needs that noise.

Return Policy Specification Error

Are you using this listing tool, it's not glitchy usually like the other ones.

Use the advanced listing tool. When you click on the sell tab, upper right hand corner on a pc, you should see a "use advanced listing tool" option OR it may also say "use form with more choices" .

 

Other than that this is all I got.  

 

To create a return policy:

  1. In the Add other details section of the listing form, select Returns Accepted or No returns accepted from the Return policy drop-down menu. If you don't see a drop-down menu, click the Change your return policy link, and then select Returns Accepted or No returns accepted.

  2. If you accept returns:

    • Select the number of days a buyer has to notify you that they want to return an item

    • Specify the type of refund you'll give, or whether you offer a replacement or exchange

    • Specify who will pay for return shipping.

    • Specify a restocking fee, if any

       

      If these suggestions do not help and no one has a better idea then you'll have to contact ebay CS.    

    • You will need to contact customer service for help with this problem:

      There are two ways to contact customer service, if you are outside the USA you will need to use the social media contact. All other users can use either contact method.

      Here is a link to the phone tree, select the options that closest match your problem.

      If none match select Account Billing and Invoices Questions about an Invoice:
      https://ocsnext.ebay.com/ocs/cuhome?from_ocs=1

      Scroll down and click on the call us button for a one time use code. The best time to call is 5am pacific time when they open before they get busy.

      OR

      You can contact ebay on social media. Do not give any personal information until an eBay employee contacts you offline:

Return Policy Specification Error

Cheers for the reply. I spoke with customer service last night, and the rep diagnosed a glitch when listing items in the Antiques category. Inopportune, considering the box of antiques I wanted to get listed, but CS was very helpful with creative problem solving.

I'm having the same problem in the Antiques category.  There is NO Retrun Policy line showing in the Shipping Details area on the Creat a Listing page.  When will this be fixed???  I have 100s to list in this category.  That line is there in the other categories.

List in an alternate category, then revise your item.
