Yet another bug that works out in eBay's favor. Can anyone else confirm if they are affected?

Hey guys, I was doing some revising on eBay, modifying some listings and have come across a huge glitch that can really cost you if you don't notice.

When you change the price on one item, I am watching the item directly below have the price changed to match the one you actually intended to mark down.

If you don't notice this, and you switch the price of a $30 item for example, to $24.99, then the $250 item that you might have below that listing that will auto change to $24.99 without you wanting it to.

Can anyone else here confirm if they are being affected by this too?

Is it actually changing the price of the unintended item in question? That is, if you then view its listing, is the unintentional price actually showing there? 

 

Reason I ask is that I'm thinking it's possible that you're seeing an error in refreshing the page, but not an actual change to the price of that second listing. The quality of eBay web page programming is atrocious, and thus I would say it's more likely that you're looking at a display glitch than a pricing change.

No, it's not doing this for me, I was on the "Manage active listings" page.

I don't know for sure. When i seen the other item's prices being changed, i corrected them instead of saving them. It's weird, because after a couple reloads, it quit doing it. I guess it's just another thing to watch out for now.

Yep, it was doing it to me too the other day until I just stopped trying to change the prices that way.

 

It's doing it when you use the little pen to edit the price in seller hub  - it changes prices for several more items down

wow etcism, how horrid that it happened to you too. scary **bleep** like this keeps happening. Now we have to slow it down even more & read every line when listing/relisting items. I am so weary of all the extra work we have to do now. For less sales/income. Please eBay-give us some GOOD news for a change!
