Using a sold item as a template.

vinylweb — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 14:25:32 GMT

I’ve been selling on eBay for over 25 years. I always use one of my sold items as a template for listing new items. I mainly sell vinyl records so the template is useful for just amending details. Over the last couple of days I’ve found that using another item as a template isn’t working. The whole process seems to freeze. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be ? Thanks.

Hi @vinylweb ,

Thank you for your post.

Are you clicking on the " sell similar" option? Is this what is freezing for you? Can you try clearing your recent cache and cookies, sign out and back in again and try again.

Thank you,

Kat

Thanks Kat. I use ‘sell similar item’ and the item appears but I have a problem deleting/overwriting what needs amending.

I’ll clear down, as you say, and see what happens.

Cheers
