Auction relisting issue / fault

[moonspender]

Had 85 auction listings to relist this morning in the unsold section

Relisted in bulk to BIN

All relisted and showing in scheduled but 26 of them remained in unsold rather than moving to the relisted section

Raised with Ebay but be aware if yor have the same or similar issues with relisting

I's Friday eBay's maintenance day and many things are just not possible or go awry from time to time.

Give it a few hours,  try again a little later on when them indoors at eBay HQ  CaliforNIA have stopped tweaking and installing new systems!  It's early hours of the morning there,  so less disruption for the American folk, sending us in a bit of a mess here from time to time !  🙄

I noticed this the other day but found that if you go out of unsold and then back in it sorted it self out.

No doubt its "working as designed".

I don't think it's just Friday maintenance.

The whole system of updating within the seller pages has been shockingly downgraded over the last year or two.  The main problems are to do with lags.  I've noticed:

- When listing or relisting items, the "free listings left" counter  can take half an hour to update: several hours on the last day of the month.  (In the past, this updated instantaneously, except after 11 pm on the last day of the month).

- Accepted offers can stay as live for fifteen or twenty minutes, even if the items aren't on "immediate payment only.

- The e-mails that tell you "you have a new message" or "new offer received" arrive several minutes before the message or offer shows up on the eBay site, so whether you click the link in the e-mail, or go straight to the eBay page, it will show as "no messages" or "no offers".

- Unreliable on-screen notifications when doing bulk listings or relists, saying "The following items have not been listed.  Click here to try again".  If the message is a false one, then clicking will result in duplicate listings - which eBay should of course block automatically, but they don't, because of the time lag in their system.

The net result of all this is inconvenience and expense to sellers, because duplicate listings cost money as well as possible double-selling a unique item, or having all your listings downgraded for breaching the duplicate listings policy.

What used to be a half-hour job (checking and bulk relisting several hundred items at the end of the month), has turned into a three-hour nightmare, full of duplicates, or listings that don't relist but aren't flagged, and then defects for being "out of stock" when the accidental duplicate listing sells.

It's a deliberate downgrade of the system, for which sellers are charged, overcharged and punished.
