Getting the following error message. How do I get rid of it?

Item cannot be accessed.

This item cannot be accessed because the listing has been deleted, is a Half.com listing, or you are not the seller.

You can't just upload an ended item that has already has an eBay item number. A TL quirk.

I copy and paste the item to the inventory folder, edit it as needed, send it to upload, and then it works fine.

Thanks for the reply.

I did some seraches and found that theoretically it is only supposed to happen with listings that are over 90 days since they ended but same solution, copy from unsolds to inventory, then edit and upload. A real pain for over 100 listings that you also have to then also find each one in the unsolds to copy them.

I find it applies to all ended listings, but I usually only use TL to resurrect older listings and may actually never have tried to re-up anything newer than 90 days. YMMV.

I don't understand why would copying and pasting into an inventory folder and then editing if needed, and uploading be any more trouble than the other way you would prefer? If you are going to relist or edit you have to locate them anyway.

Just played with it and directly re-upped a listing that ended about 35 days ago. So I guess there may be something to the 90 day aging off claims I've also read. (I don't use TL for routine relisting - just mostly for re-animation of year old listings and for backup purposes.)

So I guess I could see where it might be a pain if bulk relisting and there are some mixed in that are older than 90 days.

Could either just copy them all to an inventory folder, and process, or sort by date, copy only the older ones to inventory and process separately, and relist the newer ones the simple relist way.
