Publish to ebay, keep getting error messages and cannot list

So, i wanted to try out the publish to ebay option. I signed up and that went well., however, i have been trying to list items to ebay, but on every item i try, i keep getting an error message and it will not list there. For a bra, it wanted the cup size….But i have all that info that is required. For a coat, it said it cannot list with multiple SKU #‘s…I don’t understand as I don’t have any sku numbers for the coat. So, not sure why i keep getting errors….Anyone else have this problem?

I have the same exact problem. Everytime I try, I get error messages. I have to drag my unhappy butt over to evil-bay and manually list my stuffs, which takes too much time lol

I don’t have any bras so I’m not sure about those, but the multiple SKU issue I have had. On listings that ask for SIZE TYPE it is best to leave that spot blank. Putting something there that eBay does not recognize will create a listing error.

On items that have the MANY SIZES option, you need to select that even if you have only one item and then use the boxes under that with the size, quantity and price (default). That way eBay recognizes it. Shoes and some Mens clothing work this way and I assume bras probably work this way too. If you only have one, put the size in the size box, put many sizes in the US size box, and fill out the list of sizes below that. Seems redundant, but that’s how my listings have worked.

Even with all that, I sometimes have to go to the multiple edit feature on eBay to straighten some info out.

Once you get used to the quirks and you list here with eBay compatibility in mind, it gets much easier.

Thanks SegundaVez. I did all that, but you said then you have to go to ebay to straighten some info out. I cant even get the item over to ebay. I only tested with one bra, and a coat. Neither worked. So ill keep playing with it.

I am a new member/old seller here that has left PayBay aka eBay due to their downgrades over the last several months…as for your listing glitches I guarantee it has something to do with ebay downgrades over the last several months now on a weekly basis changing things on their site…and even if you did manage to get something listed there…they now have a policy of “Rotational Regional Listing Visibility” for USA Sellers…Lamens [URL removed]
Your listing will only be visible for a certain region in the US for a week period at a time…And that is exactly why I am here now on Bonanza…if you list it…It SHOWS :) Nice Shop and Items BTW :)

Well, thanks so much Siberians_Forever!! I actually have been selling over there for years and years, and also here….Yes, i hate all the new rules they have, i was not aware of that one tho! They are just pushing sellers out! I wanted to see how it works, with going thru bonz. but i’ll keep trying

You are right about all these things, Siberians_Forever. Even if you have not personally been downgraded, the whole site has been and that affects everybody. I plan on dropping them as soon as my store subscription runs out. In the meantime, I grit my teeth and list over there.
