I am trying to list a book for sale. The ebay listing does not allow me to complete the details such as Book Title, Author's name, etc. As soon as I have listed a couple of above I am brought back to square one to start filling out again. I had no problem list two books with all the details but now i cannot go beyond the title, ISBN, Author. What am I doing wrong? please advise as I have dozens of books and want to sell them on ebay.

Yikes! Another improvement from the folks at eBay.
I don't know if this will work, but you might try entering just a title and perhaps some quickie gibberish in the item description box, as well as the price, and then save the entry as a draft. If everything goes this far, perhaps you could add one or two pieces of information at a time, saving each update as just a draft. Eventually you might complete everything the way you want and then try listing it.
There must be a bunch of bugs floating around eBay's newest computer program, because today I tried to use the advanced search capability and each time I tried to use it I received a message that said I couldn't do it even though I'd been using it for decades, but when I used just the simple search technique everything worked fine.
Good luck solving your problem. EBay never ceases to amaze and you have to wonder if the technicians aren't thoroughly testing their programs, relying instead upon the complaints of the customers to fix their oversights. My how times have changed. Where's Meg?

Are you sure that your book is NOT on the banned book list !?!?
Because that would be one reason you can't finish the listing.

PRESS CHANGE CATEGORY THEN ADD AUTHORS NAME TO THE SEARCH PAGE, THEN PROCEED TO THE SELLING PAGE, THE AUTHORS NAME ETC WILL BE IN THE ITEM SPECIFICS BOX.

We constantly have specific problems , fill them all in and then they go missing or change.. we use the bar code scanner and then end up having to click upc dose not apply..because it is constantly missing..
Starting to think this is one of the reasons random non relevant listing constantly show up in searches.

Ebay just changed the "user experience" when it comes to listing things. Unfortunately, they made it about 10000x worse than before. (Running into that myself, as it took about 20 minutes for me to list something instead of the usual 3.)
As a tip: If you do get listings, CHECK THEM. One of the numerous problems with the new listing experience is how easy it is to let something pass you didn't intend.
