This issue has now been resolved and ebay has cancelled all the listings.

Cats you are correct in saying that the listings were held back for 24 hours due to scrutiny,which I thought was only 12 hours.

Ebay has also told me to not list for 1 day and to start at 3 days so this issue doesn't happen again.

But I am still expecting negative feedback and defects.

And with duplicate listings not showing until one of them gets a bid I understand that but that wasn't the issue as I listed some of the same items but added an extra dot at the end of the title which then makes it a different listing.
