I have also wasted many hours on having a new sale after the last ended, my also says it is active  1700, when I had a closer look it seems that all  have  SKIPPED: In recent sale  what does that mean??

I did 2 sales on different days one 22% and another 33%  I have 27 items out of 42 in the 22% showing as active, BUT some from that sale went into the 33% sale which I was crossed with.

What are EBAY doing??  this is the first time in 23 years that EBAY has really stuffed up in the create sales area.

I cancelled the old sale and created a new one for 33% starting NOW (10.30am) and find a 3.45pm that my sale is ACTIVE but not one item is for sale everything is SKIPPED: In recent sale 

It will be a very slow and costly week if nothing goes on sale.

NOT HAPPY EBAY!!
