When I list an item the starting time has disappeared, anyone else finding this?

This has only happened during the past two days.

Everything lese has remained the same.

I noticed some months back when I list a fixed price listing the ending time doesn't seem to appear until later.

Whether it's because it becomes active after the next ebay program cycle or it needs to be less than a certain days before it appears, I didn't notice.

I don't even have a start time.

It depends what you mean by a starting time.

I've lost the ability to schedule recently.  The bit where you can click to start immediately or to schedule just isn't there.  However, if I relist by clicking the blue button in unsold and then click on "make more edits" it'll take me to a listing page where the scheduling bit shows.  I can also bulk relist and change the start time that way.  But a brand new listing takes a bit of doing to be able to schedule it.

Other than that, I'm not sure what you mean by the starting time not showing.  Do you mean in emails, on the listing, or where?

Ok when I list I cannot schedule a start time in the future.

That means you've got the same problem as me.  Try doing one of the methods I've got above if it's an old listing that you've got in unsold and want to relist it.

I had something in sold that I wanted to relist the other day so I did a bulk relist because I can change the start time that way.  I had nothing else in sold I wanted to relist but I just chose something at random and scheduled both for the same time, then I deleted the other item from my scheduled list afterwards.  You can't bulk relist just one item and that's why I did it with another item.

If you do one item from unsold by clicking on the relist button where the box slides across, you should get the scheduled bit in the listing when you click on "make more edits", if it works the same as for me.

I'm not sure how to schedule a brand new listing, unless you relist & schedule something from your sold list and then edit/change it to something else completely different.  This wouldn't work with items from your unsold list unless you're happy to lose the original listing.

Thank you for your input, this is a complete new listing.

I have found the problem, I just had to tick the option "schedule start time" which had been unticked through some process.   Thank you for your help

Where did you find the option to schedule that you ticked? It'd save me doing some acrobatics to schedule if it's that simple to fix it.

Next to each section on the listing page is a link add or remove options. It should be under one of the headings in the box that pops up. Could be under the price and format section.
