A dilemma....

I went to list a book, which I hadn't  had listed for 6 months or more.

 

Checked other copies for prices, condition etc and to my absolute horror , I have found my own copy there.

 

I supposedly relisted about 2 weeks ago.

 

The problem is, I haven't relisted it all. It's not on my selling list and hasn't been there for some months.

 

I can't give an item number as it's not on  my  listings.

 

Is this a new glitch or something else eBay is up to???

 

Any help would  be appreciated.

Re: A dilemma....

Or is it possible someone is in on your account.

I would probably consider changing my passwords.

 

But then again, if it's your listing, probably a glitch.

Re: A dilemma....

Thank you.

I had changed my passwords about 4 or 5 weeks ago.

 

At least I was pointed in the right direction and double checked the so-called listing.

It's most definitaley mine.

 

Thanks for your help.

Re: A dilemma....

Many thanks to everyone for their help.

 

I am putting it down as a glitch.

 

I might relist the book again, possibly in another 6 months time.

 

Your help has been very much appreciated.

If my memory serves me correctly, Stalks had a similar problem a few weeks ago, maybe she'll spot this thread and come on board

There were also some members that had their listings relisted and the items actually sold but there were no items to sell and I think stawka caught it before it got any further with hers.

Re: A dilemma....

Thank you for this.
As said before, I don't think my account has been hijacked because it seems to be just the one item
I'll keep my eye out to see if Stalks pops in this afternoon or tonight.

Re: A dilemma....

I'm lucky in the fact that if it does sell, I still have the copy available.
Didn't sell 6 months ago so I'm not holding my breath this time around!!

Re: A dilemma....

Yes., this has happened about 3 or 4 times this year, so far.

 

The items that were re-listed, unbeknown to me, were actually one-offs that were sold 

last August!!

 

I caught them in time, but only by accident, before someone bought them - again.

 

Now I'm watching very closely.

 

Another poster also mentioned last August as the time for their re-list by ebay.

Someone bought something this week that I couldn't find, and I panicked.   horror smiley.gif

 

Turned the place upside down. 

Turns out, I had misfiled it - paper goods - easy to do.     pondering-and-thinking-smiley-emoticon.gif

 

I think it might be their sneaky way of handing out defects for OOS.

Re: A dilemma....

This is bizarre!

 

A hijacked account suddenly selling high-end items would make sense. But one selling a book...?

 

 

Spoiler

TERRORIST: Get back in your seats, everyone. Stay seated! No one make a move.

FRIGHTENED READER: Oh my God, he's got a booklight!

TERRORIST: That's right, and I will use it if any of you cause any trouble.

SECOND TERRORIST (in the Index): Captain! Turn this book around to Cuba!

CAPTAIN: But this is Passenger to Frankfurt.

SECOND TERRORIST: I don't care where you were headed. Just move the bookmark. Cuba! Now!

CAPTAIN: We don't have enough pages to get us there.

SECOND TERRORIST: We'll repaginate at Corvo!

Re: A dilemma....

I was the other person this happened to. I recently 'sold' a one-off shirt, and then couldn't find it (not an easy item to lose). I checked back through my sold items, and there it was - sold last August. I have no idea how it came to be relisted. Fortunately the person who 'bought' the shirt was very understanding, but it could have turned out quite badly. So yes, these relisting glitches can happen.
