eBay

I've been noticing this over the past week. When on a sellers site, I go to look at an item for more detail and it comes up with that it's either been removed or sold. When I try again it lets me see the item. It's not all items, just the occasional one but it happens on multiple sellers sites as well.

Anyone else been experiencing this. A little disconcerting when you are hoping to get views of your items.

Yes. When I go into my watched list it is saying item no longer available.

If you reresh it, then it reappears.

Not all buyers know to hit refresh, so when it happens to our listings we've lost a potential sale.

Yup. It's happened to me both when shopping or looking at my own listings (checking for errors). Refresh and things are normal again.

It's disconcerting (to say the least) to see a message that one of your listings has been removed or is no longer available. Bah!

Déjà Moo: The strange feeling that I've heard this bull before...

Very old problem. I've come across it a number of times over the years. eBay is aware of it, but it's one of those things that they never fix. Just like the sold inventory that has been showing only some of the sold stuff unless you kept refreshing the page. Then you might get a 100 more listings to appear. Also the items closer to 40 days or older no longer show up at all, even though the time span is 90 days.

The site is loaded with glitches. I couldn't even access the site earlier today. I kept getting "site is not secure" page, with the Http X'd out in red in the address bar.

Nice to see you Time. I know, I just seem to be falling into glitches upon glitches these days. And slow....my lord. Slower than a turtoise. Oh well. Fingers crossed on some improvement.
