Can't list bug is back

[cooltronix]

Just tried to the (re)list some items on eBay.com and the 'can't list' bug is bag. Havn't had this problem in 3 years or so.

I want to list and get this message:

It looks like there's a problem with this listing.

  Attention!

  In order to maintain a safe trading environment, there is a limit to the item quantity which a seller can specify in one listing. The categories and types of items that are subject to limits and the quantity allowed may vary.

  You have reached the 30-day selling limit for the type of item you're trying to list. This means that while you can list other types of items, you will need to wait 30 days or until your other listings of this type have ended before you can list this item.

  Established accounts which demonstrate a history of excellent buyer satisfaction will be automatically subject to higher limits.

  What's going on here? The quantity I list is in the tenth. Didn't see that bug for a few years.

  What's going and what's the fix?

Whoops, edit time was up. I also can't edit active items. That totally sux.

And **bleep**, just see that now: "Established accounts which demonstrate a history of excellent buyer satisfaction will be automatically subject to higher limits."

Is my feedback % that bad?

We get something like this once every couple of months--requires us to contact eBay to have it lifted.  For us, eBay calls it a 'brand limit'.  For example, we could always list a $25000.00 USD Ebel 1911 Automatic, but seem to have problems listing $100.00 Seikos and Casios.  For some reason, eBay has applied limits to certain brands (we have asked why and have received many different reasons).   We have yet to be specifically told how long these limits last for (apparently being a seller of vintage watches for two years with 100% positive feedback doesnt count).  Looks like the issue for you is quantity.  If you are able to, can you list one singly?    Best to contact eBay and request the limit be lifted, be prepared to repeatedly ask and use a variety of contact methods (Facebook, Twitter, Phone, e-mail).

Well, I send a mail to support - and got an automated reply saying I need to call - so I called - and was told I need to send a mail.

At that point I knew it's not a scam and I really talk to eBay!

Anyway, conclusion is that there was no conclusion and it's probably a bug and eBay will look into it.

Call again to see if you can get someone to help explain what specifically is limited. I don't think it's a bug. I see messages like that sometimes when listing in a new category... they put a limit on the number of items that can be listed in the new category until you sell a few and prove yourself. There are all kinds of hidden limits and you don't realize they're there unless you run into them. If CS can't lift the limit they should at least be able to tell you what's limited and what it will take to get past the limit.

They guy I spoke said he can't explain why there are limits and there shouldn't be any limits.

I had that problem before a few years back.

Example, I just tried to revise this listing (tried to lower quantity), and failed:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/231476790314

That item is low scam potential, sold many 100 already, 100% positive customer responses.
