Extreme Listing Delays Today

[toppscardtrader]

I have been selling on ebay every day for the past year (and occasionally before that).  Today, it seems that it is taking near 3-5 hours for an item to be available in search.  I believe there was an issue with this Monday as well.  Has anyone else had this issue today?

Picture uploading issues again!!  I got tired of wasting my time & I am going to go out for sushi.  Hopefully things will be back to normal when I get back.  

[toppscardtrader]

Is that what's causing the delay?  Or is that an additional issue?  Sushi sounds good...

Picture uploading is my only delay today and I assumed that was the OPs issue as well.  Uploading errors, error message when rotating, pictures not showing up but seeing the polaroid image instead, etc.  Just me?

[toppscardtrader]

Nope, I am talking about the listing to show up in searches.  It is taking several hours.  Usually this is something that happens in 5-10 minutes.

But we are told that it can take up to 24 hours.

I just did a half dozen postcard listings in under half an hour including fixing the scanner which for some reason will not scan if it is short on printing ink.

@reallynicestamps " .... Extreme Listing Delays Today ..."

Understatement.

As a buyer - cannot see merchant's latest listings.

Seller has to provide the link to each of the item listed in order to view and purchase.

The new item # given is no good too. The delay for new listings today is snail slow.

As a seller - new listings cannot be seen yet, although email messages confirmed

listings are 'live.'  Blue churning circle going on forever for pictures downloading.

These activities seems always to fall on a Thurday. 

At least, I have this thread to confirm that I am NOT the only one experiencing

this mumbojumbo.  For a while, I thought my pc was taken over by gremlins.

Great--more than one glitch today.  The pictures are working a bit better now.  I never look to see when mine go live because I know it's pointless.  But yesterday I had a buyer request an item, I relisted it, and he had purchased and paid within 5 minutes.  He was in my postal zone, if that makes a difference in eBay world.

Can you pick me up an unagi roll please?

[toppscardtrader]

Yeah I expected it was everyone.  I guess that's what I get for having an anchor store.

[callahanmagic · Accepted solution]

Kiss (whiting fish) + nasu (egg plant) tempura

[callahanmagic]

autocorrect!!

should be Kisu (whiting fish) and Not  'Kiss"

Yes, Indexing is not working, Search is BROKEN.

Seller listings totals in Stores and non-store are wrong.

And not just new listings but also revised listings and out of stock listings.

What else can ebay think of to distroy the site?

[evry1nositswindy]

Had salmon skin roll, tuna tataki, miso soup, seaweed salad. YUM!! Yours looks good too!

[sharingtheland]

Oh great.  I just settled in to list some extremely hot items tonight (received today); spent hours already on photos and checking for dings, etc.  Who knows if I'll be in the mood tomorrow ? 

I looked a minute ago and my views, such as they are and as believable as they are(n't), are back to numbers.  For almost 2 days I had - , meaning a dash for zero zippity no views, even on items with watchers.

What I noticed today is the whole site is loading pages even slower than normal.  It's not my computer, my browser(s), my cookies or my strawberry shortcake - it's ebay.  I do not have that issue with any other site except occasionally Tory Burch.

And it's a no for the sushi.  And just shoot me before making me eat sashimi.  Don't let my husband get started on his blue fin tuna in Japan story, eaten (gulped/gagged down) in a restaurant favored by the local businessmen he could not afford to offend by saying no thank you.
