totally frustrated here. Listed an item, it didn't 'list'!

Check to see if the listing is in your 'scheduled listings". If so there will be a link to show the error or reason it didn't post.

I will stay on here to try to walk you through this.

Since sellers are responsible for making sure their items are delivered safely to buyers, a listing can't include information like: “I am not responsible for the item once it’s dropped in the mail.” “I am not responsible for lost or damaged items.” But I don't HAVE that in my listing! ARgh, I need a drink!

Is it possible that statement is in one of your profiles??

This is a completely new listing. Not created from one of my profiles.

Your profiles as in your "seller details" or "Item Details" or "Shipping profile". Since you haven't been using Auctiva for some time maybe it is an old profile. You can check your profiles by clicking the link/tab at the top of your Auctiva page that says "Profiles". I was not suggesting that you were creating a similar listing to an old one.

Right now, between this piece of junk listing and profiles and whatever it is, along with EBAY's leaving me on HOLD for over 35 ***************** minutes, I may just close my entire store, auctiva account and all because the service at Ebay sucks. I told the lady I needed help. She asks me where I'm listing the listing, I tell her, through Auctiva.com, omg, then she puts me on hold FOREVER, comes back, says their 'agents' can't help me and that I have to go to www.auctiva.com(she even spelled it out) and I'm like, You idiot, I'm calling YOU regarding an ERROR message FROM that site. Oy, I just want to cry. I need to start listing without all this bogus hogwash going on! It's been well OVER 5 hours now, heck, even more than that and I can't list ONE dang thing! I'll double check my profiles but I swear I didn't include them, I'm so dang lost right now I just want to give up and toss everything out the door.

I am not even seeing any of my profiles except the shipping one.

The eBay rep is correct. This is not an eBay issue. You are listing on Auctiva and it is not even being submitted to eBay, so there is nothing eBay can do. The error is also on Auctiva which is what is preventing the listing from being submitted.

Do you have a return policy listed?? If not, maybe that is where your issue is.

Well, holy scrap, I haven't the foggiest clue what the ****** I did, but I went through, *again*, I copied my entire listing, closed out the old listing, then went to create, yet *another* new listing, pasted it and bam............Geeeeeeeeeeeeez. Finally the dang thing posted but if this wasn't the absolute *worst* day of my Auctiva listing experience EVER! Crazy thing is that I'd pasted the EXACT info I had on the *other* listing that *didn't* have *any* profiles on it. shaking my head right now. I'm outta here and getting me a dang drink! LOL I really appreciate you trying to help me hun. I really do but I've been working on this listing for over 5 hours now and that's just ONE listing of many I need to do. I am done for tonight. That wore me out and I'm going to go spend some time with my sweet love who has been patiently waiting for me to finish this whole mess. I sure hope the *next* listing I do doesn't do this same thing!

Yes on the return policy too.

I am glad it finally worked. There is a possibility there was a problem with Auctiva. It does happen sometimes that everything says it passed and it doesn't. It may have been nothing to do with your listing at all. Too many glicthes and issues here lately. Anyway glad it went through this time.

I have had that problem as well. I found that if you cant find the problem, open the saved listing and go to the bottom and click on post now, instead of save. Most times, if it doesnt post, there will be a red highlight from ebay at the top of the listing, or somewhere in it, telling you what the error is, and you can correct it. Try that next time. Usually its a simple or hidden error (like no return policy or something). Hope this helps, Joe
