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

System temporarily unavailable, please try listing again"

I have also been having this issue: unable to revise some of my active listings for one week. To-date (08/29/2017), I have had 11 active listings with this problem, and have also notified eBay of this problem. To-date, I still have not had any resolution from eBay, have called support 3 times, and I am only being told it is a "system glitch" they are (still) working on. After these 7 days, I am noticing a trend but also inconsistencies with this problem: this glitch is only showing on listings (some, not all) posted on/after August 8th. There is no trend noticed with categories, photos, or anything that I can see. There IS a problem with making ANY change to such listings, ie no relationship with price tweak or photo tweak or description tweak or UPC entry. Since I have not seen any resolution for this problem, I have ended 8 of these 11 listings, then chosen "sell similar" to relist them, and have found that I again have the ability to revise them. In most of my cases, I have been tweaking prices since I periodically lower prices to "get stuff out the door." I have been an eBay store/seller for well over a decade and have never run into this type of problematic, frutrating, time-consuming, and long-standing issue. I know there are others out there in the eBay seller community having these issues, so I am both sharing and venting. Let's hope the FIX is soon ... holiday sales are around the corner! Julie

Today I experienced the same errors, but in addition, I was trying to edit a fixed price listing that was only 3 days into the 30 days. It would not let me make a change to international shipping, not matter what I tried. It was for a customer so I was a bit irritated. Has anyone else noticed problems with modifying shipping ona fixed price listing?

Thanks,

Same here. Our customer in Canada requested to change it from Global Shipping to direct international shipping. I coundn't make the adjustments. Ebay didn't let me to.

When I called ebay I was told I have to end the listing, then do all the shipping adjustments and relist it PAYING LISTING FEE again that could be vawed if I call them back. I am not making it up! They did many changes today including rolling out sellers HUB that makes my head spin.....

I am not sure it's a glitch when the ebay representative made it clear it's a new way to edit since today.

The representative was in India so I am holding my breath they are wrong. Otherwise I don't like it.

So, once I list an BIN, eBay is now going to make me cancel and relist just to change the shipping? It's a simple edit? New ways to make money I guess.

Having a similiar problem....trying to drop price on active, relisted products and when I hit revise, it takes me to "create new listing", with the URL pointing to http://bulksell.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SingleList&title=

When I cancel this page, it makes a draft............deleted all the drafts this am.............have called 2 times over the past week and both representatives could see the problem on their end but all they can do is write a report...problem still exists

Have tried to revise on a Windows 10 computer, My Windows 8.1 laptop, and my Android phone....problem runs across all platforms...................

I followed their steps to revise and it said no active content found, BUT in my seller hub I have a warning?? I called last week and the rep said I was fine, so I called again and NOW they said I wasn't and she walked me through it. It STILL didn't work but when she did it on her end it did.

If they have a system to detect the content then they should be able to just remove all of it, without us having to do every single one. This is a giant pain in the butt!!!!

Is this why things have been so slow for me the last few weeks though?? Just curious!!

A miracle is not defined by the event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.
