I have around 6,000 items listed - all with FileExchange uploads - warnings for bad store category at times, but mostly normal. I have recently found it useful to start the item title with some unique code text to make searching for my listing more rational (start the title with "zSALEz" and other of my sale items come back well on a search. This APPEARS to be because the search AI weights the first word of the title pretty highly). Before settling on "xSALEx" tags, I tried "+SALE+" and "@SALE@", which were *MUCH* less successful, probably because the AI stripped out the "+" and "@" when deciding what to return.
Additionally, I found it practical to add a block of links to other of my eBay items into my item description. this is to compete with the massive number of advertising links to rediculously unrelated items that eBay inserts into my item listing.
Now - on to the bug... On this morning's upload of a few items, one returned an error that my listing contained personal information - possibly an email link or phone number (which, of course, is a BAD thing and leads to account removal). My listing had nothing of the sort, but it did include a link to one of my "@SALE@" items. Suppressing that piece of link made the error go away. My guess is that "@" anywhere in the item description is probably verbotten.
One other FileExchange (Report Upload) glitch is just plain random errors during upload. These are far less than 1% - maybe 1 in 1,000 - and are things like a single listing in the middle of an upload file being rejected with a message like "you don't have the authority to do this". Simply re-submitting the same listing gets no error.
I am finally getting used to "Report Uploads" and "Report Downloads", but I still wish TurboLister was still around.
