"This Feature is Temporarily Unavailable"

auanimestore — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:31:45 GMT

I get this when I try and go to sell an item, I manage to fill in the creditials, but when I go to physically post it, I get this error.

Is there a fix?

If it is not a site problem, do a fresh log-in and see if that works. If I get logged out while I am writing the description, I get that error. If I log back in it all works, but I have lost what I had written in that listing.

Cheers, Kevin

Still didn't fix the issue.

Delete all your cookies and cache then try again.

That didn't work either.

It's obviously not to do with a cache error.

I noticed a few posts down some other members were experiencing the same issue as me.

Could it possibly be maintenence?

Same thing for me.
If you go to your drafts, the item will be there, and yes you can submit it from the drafts with no problem.
However, I have found that although the photos show up, when you actually click into the listing you submitted, the photo is not available in there.

It could be maintenance.... but it's more likely some left over carp from the previous maintenance that's only affecting a handful of us and will no doubt take an eternity to get anyone to even look at. It's driving me NUTS!

I have two Ebay accounts... the problem is only on one of mine, the other works perfectly 😕

This really does suck. I hope it sorts itself out soon.
If not, think I'll try my luck with Gumtree again. lol...!

I share your frustration I really do.
I don't like Gumtree 😞
I wish there was a feasible alternative like there once was, but Ebay bought all the true competitors, so this is really it.

Hey 🙂
just thought I'd let you know I've spoken with Ebay through Chat... they're clueless. They told me that nobody else has reported the same thing. They're forwarding it to their technical team who will get to it sometime before the next ice age.

Thanks for the heads up!

In all honesty, this is really getting on my nerves.
I have some really neat items that I know will sell. Even though I've only been on Ebay for basically a month and a bit, and my feedback score isn't great..I want to expand. It's absolutely ridiculous that this only happens to "few" people.

I'm as annoyed as hell. How can anyone expect to SELL anything if they can't list? I'm paying store subscriptions and can't use the store, but you can bet your bottom dollar there'll be no mention of compensation.

Have you tried listing using the sell similar option, instead of creating a whole new listing? I just relisted an item, but used the sell similar option and it went through no problems. Could be worth a shot?

Tried that. Still nothing.

Re: "This Feature is Temporarily Unavailable"

mbs_lego — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 02:04:13 GMT

I tried that too, still can't list as well.

i noticed this on my account last night about 6.30pm same message, it would not allow to me revise an existing listing or create a new one. l contacted customer (non) service twice last night only to be assured that it would be fixed within a few hours. Cut to midday today l still cant do a new listing but it is now letting me revise an existing one. Yet another contact with CS to be given the same runaround, we are forwarding it to tech support, condescending CS person is a total **bleep** and doesnt seem to understand that given l pay my store fees to run a store l might be a tad annoyed that l cannot list items in the store ? Ebay needs specific customer service areas , not a general number where all the CS people know is a few memorised generalised answers

Agreed!
They really need to get their *** sorted out.

Just curious, is it only store sellers having these issues? Are the people having trouble using turbo lister or something similar?

I don't have answers, just trying to see if there's a common pattern as (so far), I'm not having any problems relisting or using sell similar. I haven't tried a listing from scrach yet though as normally if I want to create a new listing, I just use the sell similar option to save redoing the description.

Hopefully they get it sorted out for you guys soon!
