Keep getting error message-how long does it usually take help people to help?
I'm receiving this: eBay has not posted your item due to title, description, and/or eBay policy violation.

Hi smiley - Weekends are a little iffy, but during the week the support staff will normally get to you pretty quickly if you file a support request. Just click the appropriate link on the Help page. In this case, they can look at the listing and advise you specifically. Staff will monitor the message boards and often respond, but it's mostly user-to-user here. 
Thanks, they responded quickly the first time, but in the response it said resolution sent and case closed, but I never got a resolution! I haven't heard back went I told them that.
Of course, like everyone else, I'm sure they are very busy, but they are normally very helpful. I would just keep after it until you get a response, just repeat what you just posted - I'm sure they will get the message.
Is anyone having trouble with Auctiva when they are trying to do a new listing? I will get one part done-and then I will try to do a preview or an error check and it locks up. It has been doing this for the last two days! Is there something going on with Auctiva? Just wondering-its very frustrating when you get your whole listing done and then it wont post!
Smiley,
Ebay obviously thinks you have some kind of violation such as a designer name that could be fraudulent or a fake, or whatever. Sometimes if you have a title with 'Louis Vuitton' or 'Tiffany' or any other expensive brand you will not be able to list it. You're not even allowed to say 'like new' any more in a title, although we've all still seen that one. If this is the case (and I'm pretty sure it is) no one can help you.
What I did the one time this happened to me, was write a bland title but I wrote the whole description the way it was supposed to be. After it was listed, I went in and revised it and it worked out just fine. They look for keywords in the title, and some slip through and some get caught.
Good luck!

That sounds crazy so if you have genuine Tiffany goodie you want to sell on you are stuck with it ! 
Hi Choo,
I agree it IS crazy, also very random. I tried listing a pr of designer jeans last Christms and I ended up having to do it as stated above. I had them for years, they were real, cost me a small fortune, and no longer fit so I figured I'd sell them.
It was a real challenge to say the least.

I ran into this a couple of weeks ago with designer perfume I am selling, Dolce & Gabbana, Davidoff, Estee Lauder. None of these would post and I was going crazy trying to figure the API out. Finally filed a support request and found out that items Ebay considers subject to being counterfeited are only allowed to be listed for 5 days or more! I typically post 3 day auctions and sometimes even 1 day.The crazy thing is other designer perfumes I list as 3 day go right in. Guess nobody is complaining about them being counterfeit 
I suppose that enforcing a minimum time of exposure means there is more time for counterfeiters to be identified and nabbed.
Smiley and member_8890 could this be the reason you could not list your items ?

Well, I had listed mine for the full 7 days, so it had to be the designer name in the title I would think.
You are absolutely right about the time exposure element tho...high priced fakes in a one day auction were/are quite common. Which is why Ebay is cracking down. It just makes it hard sometimes on us honest folks
