Spam listing

Ebay listing REMOVED is spam. I cannot get it off my watch list and when you push delete item it says Congratulations you've listed Spam and Eggs. I can't find a way to tell Ebay it's there!

Looks like a genuine listing to me.

There have been problems with the watchlist, I suggest you try to delete it again in a few days.

Did you try adding it to your watch list?

I added it to my watch list and then deleted it with no problems.

Have you ticked the box on the left hand side of the item and then clicked delete at the top of the page?

It appears that other people have been having this problem in the UK: https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Buying/What-is-quot-Congrats-You-just-listed-quot-Spam-and-Eggs-From/td-p/6819310

No idea, I just added it to my watch list, left it for a few minutes then went back in and it deleted for me right away.

Have you tried another browser, clear cache and cookies ect - the age old turn it off then on again LOL

The listing itself seems fine, just wierd what is happening with you. Did you ceck out the link papermoon provided? A UK user managed to delete it when signing in from a different browser

Try sneaking up on it........

Log into ebay.com and see if you can delete it from there.

Don't forget to log out again.

Sorry, I know it is not a new thread, but this just happened to me for the first time (including the congratulations message)... However, I was able to delete the item normally when I went directly to the "watch list" instead of the eBay summary (from the My eBay dropdown menu at the top). There is no logical reason why the item could be deleted directly from the watch list page but not from the watch list appearing on the eBay summary page, where I had tried several times to delete it (I guess it is a glitch). Anyway, maybe others can try the same trick if the problem happens to them. Go to the My eBay dropdown menu, select Watch List, delete the item - done!
