Is it just me and my computer, or is anyone else unable to post listings right now? When I chose "Post Now" it appears to be listing, but then fails. The error message says, "not posted in time". There is no difference between the listings I've created today and yesterday. They posted fine yesterday. The "error check" on the listing shows no problems. Is anyone else experiencing this? I cannot list at all right now. Thanks.

Hi wjoycem,

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you are experiencing. I just reviewed your support case and, although a "Not Posted in Time" error is provided as the explanation of the posting failures related to this listing, we have since been able to determine that eBay's API actually returned the following error:

Internal error to the application.

This error message is indicative of a technical error on the eBay side of things but I have not seen any other similar errors today, so I suspect that the issue may be specific to a very small subset of listings or even just this listing.

Given that the same error has been returned so many times for the same listing, the only thing that comes to mind which may give the item a better chance of posting successfully would be to recreate it, either from scratch or by using the Create Similar option.

You could also potentially try waiting a while and attempting to post the same listing again if you do not need to get the item posted urgently.

I just replied to your support case with effectively the same information, but I was inclined to comment here as well in case you have not received that reply yet of this information is applicable to other sellers who may review this thread.

Hi Mike - thank you for your support and time. As always, you are specific and helpful and I always appreciate your attention to support cases. I had already tried posting intermittently throughout the day with no success. And I had already tried to "create similar" and post that way - also failed. I did try creating a new listing altogether, copying the html into it. It worked and is now posted successfully after 6.5 hours of attempts. Unfortunately the explanation of why this happened is not clear to me. It would be helpful to understand that in an attempt to avoid duplicating the frustration and lost time in the future. I guess no one else had any problem today with something similar so I am glad of that. Thank you again.
