Having trouble listing your auction

 

Account Limited

if you are getting a message saying your account has reached it limit you need to check your seller fees are paid.

Unless you are signed up to automatic fee payment your account is limited when your fees reach £15

Changing to Mozilla Firefox Browser

This was suggested some months ago when Mac and Safari users had problems

Ebay have now suggested that Internet Explorer user may solve their problems

Its suggested to that IE7 users may roll back back to IE6

If you want to use Firefox download it here

Ebay have just introduce the Firefox Ebay companion

which I believe utilises a special sidebar

Using other ways to list

The form is a little more straight forwards and not the hang ups that the online form has

You need to verify your Paypal account and link to Ebay

the info on what is need is sketchy but I have tried to put together all things you need to try

 

Linking Ebay to paypal

  • In My Ebay click Paypal and login via the link
  • Go to Profile at the top
  • Click Preferences
  • Click auctions
  • The add account
  • Your Ebay/Paypal accounts should then be linked

 

Further info

Try clearing cookies as described earlier on this page

you need to ring paypal and get them to resend the verification info to Ebay

contact info here

if this doesn't help try contacting live help here

apparently the Ebay trust and safety department need to lift the BTAC block from your selling account after reviewing it.

also make sure your email for payment is primary in paypal

 

this info was also published recently so could be noting is going to work or you

Delays in Listings Appearing in Search

Listing may be delayed updating onto search for well in excess of 24 hours

Using scheduled listings they seem to be appearing in searches immediately

it does cost an extra 6p though

this is particularly in the designer goods categories as Ebay are checking the items for authenticity
