increased technical issues again
Summary: kollektonaut has been reporting technical issues on eBay for three days, which keep coming back after a short quiet period. The problems include difficulties creating labels, inactive listings being displayed incorrectly, and unpredictable shipping options. kollektonaut criticizes the lack of notice about IT work. perfect-sally explains that this work is announced regularly, but often causes issues that show up later, especially after a recent major update.
I've been having technical issues again for 3 days now. Is anyone else affected? There was about 2 weeks of peace after eBay's last IT tinkering phase. Now it's starting up again.
I wasn't able to create labels temporarily. Ended listings do not appear under inactive listings. The shop preview does not load correctly. Combined shipping is once again not being offered randomly to random buyers.
Why can't eBay announce its IT maintenance work in advance? Then I can prepare for it. I find that so unprofessional.

Mentor3 weeks agoThese have been announced well in advance for a long time and also take place every Friday.
However, some botched updates only show up after days.
And last Friday there apparently was a big update, and since then a lot of things no longer work as they should.

OP3 weeks agoOkay, thanks for the statement. So eBay carries out updates before the days with the highest sales. Makes sense. There probably aren't any official sources for that. I found a help page, but it remains vague. Still, thanks for the info.
