Being careful when uploading reports (uploading listings)

Community Tip: Make sure you select the absolutely correct file when uploading reports because once you select the file there's no way to stop it processing.

I went to upload a single listing using the 'Reports' function, using the usual file upload form field.  Once you select the file it begins uploading and processing automatically.  If you accidentally select the wrong file in the folder then you're stuffed!  There's no way to stop it.

 

Ended up with a heap of duplicate listings which caused issues with the bulk editor throwing errors saying we're not allowed to have duplicates.  In the past it would stop duplicate listings but it seems the 'Reports' function has a hole they need to plug.
