I'm really doing an 'ARRGGHH' Just tried to relist an item.....

[5kazam]

1.  The item I was going to relist was one that eBay had automatically relisted 3 times before (without my realising they were doing this)

2.  The item (on the last relisting) received a listing violation (removal), which according to another member related to 'keyword spamming' (I didn't know I had done any such thing, just put in a correction when I found out the information I had listed was not right - so hang me for it!!)

3.  Amended the wording so that I could relist.

4. Clicked on relist item, and got this message, and 5 below - "Please provide the correct information in the highlighted fields. You can't relist this, because you've selected to automatically relist this' 

5. Had already clicked off the automatic relist (and don't forget it had already been relisted 3 times)  :  

You can't relist this, because you've selected to automatically relist it.

 Automatically relist this item up to 3 times if it doesn't sell - it's free to relist. Final value fees apply.  Help on auto relist

Note there isn't a tick there.

6.  As it had already been automatically relisted 3 times, I'm getting a little frustrated and annoyed.

7.  Note to eBay : As you are now ripping off so many extra $'s from sellers (FVF's on postage), it would be appreciated if you would use that money to employ some really tech savvy people to maintain this site as it should be - without all the continual glitches that members are experiencing, including this one.

This is not a quote 'non legitimate rant.'

The point is what I put in my OP.

And forget the every Friday bit - isn't about time that Friday maintenance was carried out without problems occurring for members every single week.  C'mon!!!.  Excuse me. Stop apologising for eBay's inadequacies in maintaining the site as it shoudl be.  That just doesn't wash.

ebay maintenance happens in the wee hours of Friday morning. US Pacific time. Always has.

My point is you have replied to another poster noting this, and subsequently started this thread where maintenance is almost certainly the issue. So you know the issues and complain about them after advising other members to suck it up.

?????????????????????

I have never told any members to 'suck it up'.

Re the comment about ANZ site maintenance obviously you have not tried to access the site very often around two in the morning as I can assure you that they, like every other site, do their site maintenance at that time but unlike ebay it is not on a set day so is not predictable.
