While listing just a few items both yesterday and today, one listing each day so far failed to be able to be listed and in fact did not create a fully formed draft listing along the way.
Everything else seems normal, but I did not think to see if the notice at the top of the screen flashed the notice that backing up of entered data was occurring. When attempting to "List" the completed listing, the software makes it look as though data is being sent, but nothing happens, and the screen is dead. One can then only hit "Back" on the browser and then go to the drafts that will show the draft with only two entries correct, title and category. I then have to reenter all the remaining data again (I use "sell similar" or whatever it's now called to create new listings).
This is a huge frustration.

Now I tried to recreate today's failed listing, and it will not yet load. Clicking "List Item" has no effect. And there is no draft available either.

It seems today as though it's currently only one particular listing at a time that it will not process. It's as though the software finds an error of omission or commission in the listing and balks at it without leaving an error message. Tomorrow I will totally create a new listing of the offending item and see if it flies.

Well, I had it happen again, that a listing cannot be listed. This was a different listing than before, I created it with "Relist your listing" from an old successful listing. So I copied all the data over to another old successful listing using "Sell similar". IT WORKED and listed as desired. The problem may be related to the Relist your listing" functionality. Or it may be caused by something in the listing I first chose to use that does not display on the screen.

OK, so today I was creating a new listing with "Create similar" and for some unknown reason I could not select the correct category. I fudged the dataas needed to complete the listing acceptably and of course it would not save. I doubt that the fact that the category was not working right prevented the save to fail, but maybe. That's a problem that ebay has. When there are 462 critical errors in the code, it's very hard to determine what's happening. In the end I again moved the data to another listing and it saved fine.

Yesterday I cleared my cache and all cookies, and another listing failed to save, so I moved the data to another clean listing and it saved. It happened again today and I proceeded the same way. Listing has become a two step forward, one step backward affair.

Oh, today's failed listing followed the failure to register or save my new choice of eBay category. Not sure if that is a related problem or not.
