Getting various errors while managing/creating listings today. Not sure what the issues are, but seems like there's something going on with eBay. Trying to end a listing, and it keeps saying "Listing could not be ended.", or creating drafts it will say "Draft could not be created". Furthermore, when going into my drafts it will show that there are 0 even though I am actively working on several. Refreshing a time or two will display them.

Anybody else experiencing this, and/or know what might be going on? It's obviously eBay's side of things, and it's making creating new listings rather difficult.

Edit: A new message I've just gotten when trying to 'Sell similar' is "We're sorry, the listing tool isn't working right now." or something similar.

When I've encountered these issues, I find it helpful to logout of eBay, clear my browser cache, then log back in.

Yep.  Lots of them. After a few tries they finally go through.

     I had this problem on 8/16 and off and on on 8/17. A lot of sellers reported issues but I though eBay had cleared up the problems. They may still be tweaking, scary thought, things a bit.

Same issues. Shows no drafts when I have 20 drafts in progress. Weird.

[timedetective]

Yep.  Same here.  Ebay is probably doing an update to the system or trying to introduce new pages/features.  Happens every time they do an update.  They should give sellers advance notice.  But then, were just chopped liver to them as long as they are making money.

And I thought it was just me - ***Watch your drafts*** I found a duplicate after the system blinked while saving today.  One showed the original uploaded photo  and the edited photo in the 2nd.

Mine is saying Listing tool is unavailable when trying to create a listing.

[agun2355]

Same here. They just lost the drafts I created. Bummer.

YES!!!

Apple products & these current glitches, makes it impossible to list, schedule or update without a ton of frustration.

Workaround I found, use PC!

None of glitches happening there (atm 😂)

Give it some time, they will probably show up again--at least mine finally did.  I'm experiencing all the above problems.  When I got the red banner stating my item didn't list, I waited and tried again only to find out it listed twice and it is still in my drafts.  Then it said I couldn't end my duplicate.   Also couldn't revise.  So I'm done.

I am getting tons of them today yes!

[swenson8781]

Having the same problem... in addition, when I click the 'helpful' on here, it's giving 2 votes instead of one! lmao 

Maybe they can spend a few extra $$$ to get some programmers who effectively influence our selling venue? 🙄

Hi devon@ebay kyle@ebay elizabeth@ebay - can you provide any info on the numerous tech issues sellers are running into creating, revising, and ending listings today? Drafts not loading, being redirected to the simplified listing tool, seller hub issues and more. Both web and app are impacted.

Maybe you can get a pinned post up on the Selling and Tech Issues forum until this is fixed?

Well, I gave up working on listings and went outside to relax a bit.   I just came back to see if things had improved and noticed my total number of listings went up three while I was out.  Now I'm wondering if I have duplicates again.😣
