Auctions remain live after sold

[collectocopia]

Does anyone else have the issue of auctions staying live after they’re sold? It’s gone on for months, but now they’ve got rid of the header with sold, watchers etc I have to trawl through pages of items to locate, then end each item after it’s over and paid for.

If you mean ‘ghost listings’, yes I occasionally get them….. been happening for years!

How often is it happening to you?

Every single listing

It’s gone on a few years but until they’re changed set up recently it didn’t matter as it was all in front of me on the dashboard, now it’s changed and it’s painful

Thanks very much for providing that link. I used the eBay Duplicate Listing Scanning Tool

https://www.isdntek.com/ebaytools/DuplicateListings.htm

recommended in the discussion and found one listing where (using sell similar) I had changed photos and description but not the title. I do try and be vigilant but when using Sell Similar it is easy to goof up. Not to mention eBay goofing up. I'll try and remember to scan regularly from now on.
