I was trying to list (on .ca) an old flashlight with the title "BURGESS FLASHLIGHT, metal, fish-eye lens, WORKS" I got an error page saying the listing tool isn't working just now. I was listing other items too, yes the listing tool was working for them. I tried it a couple time, it wouldn't go, just would be saved in the drafts folder. Later I remembered some posts here about people selling items with metal parts, in regards to tariffs, so I took the word 'metal' out of the title. It listed just fine. Interestingly, I just checked my active listings, there are 8 listings with the worrd 'metal', and 4 with 'aluminum' in the title. These are auto renew in the store and have been listed forever so it just must be new listings the bots are flagging.
