Yesterday and today as I was listing items into the Scheduled items, I am seeing Ebay save my listing before I am done writing it up. Yesterday I thought it might be a fluke, today the same issue happened, and I can again see the one listing was sent into my scheduled items is incomplete, and contains the errors that I corrected prior to saving the listing into the scheduled items. I had a listing with "30 items" in the title, but when I counted the items (hot wheels), there were only 29. So I removed the line that caused me to add incorrectly, and changed the title to "29 items". When I checked scheduled items, there were 2. 1st numerically by listing shows 30 in the title, and has the extra line. 2nd numerically by listing shows the corrected values that I saved.
These are a pain to write, take a long time (is too long in listing causing this? It shouldn't, I didn't hit the save button myself), and I would never go back through to make a duplicate. However, there are 2 listings. As in my complaint last night, it appeared that ebay did a "save" on wherever my partially-completed listing was at the time. (Note this is as I see the "auto-saved" notification below on this page). The premature entry also has a different font that I don't use, thinner than this font here.
Last night there was a difference in the pics uploaded, 1st batch vs. added pics.
What gives? Ebay is double-listing for me, and I can't simply remove the duplicate, you can't end a non-started auction, you either have to let it start and cancel (bad form possibly hurting your stats) or change the error listing with total revision to one that I can use on the next product listing.
If I'm not paying attention, this could cause me to have near-duplicate items listed, and I don't have multiple batches of 29 similar cars - I would have to tell the buyer that I don't have them, and cancel the auction, which of course is terrible.
again, ebay get your stuff together. spend some money on fixing your platform.
Another major glitch in 2021. SMH
