Duplicate listings

[chairmanmuscc719y]

I Have just been informed that i have duplicate listings i am in the stamp business and no 2 stamps are the same apparently the wording is wrong and sends up flags through the ebay system has this happened to anyone else or am i the only one i contacted ebay and they understand of course can anyone help me as talking to an agent is like banging your head against a brick wall i am a top seller and have been listing on ebay for over 12 years and have never had any problems like this up until now whats going on i changed the wording but they are still telling me they are duplicate listings anyone help help

I have come across similar situations.

When dealing with stamps, it is easy to make a mistake and offer two identical items.

Periodically, to check all my listings.

I take a look at my Selling Manager and sort all items alphabetically using the title column.  Since I always use the same system for titles:  country - date of issue - brief description - catalogue number, it is relatively easy to spot duplicate listings and then remove them.

Good Luck.

Just add an extra letter or number or - or . or even a space at the end of the listing. The system should stop sensing it as a duplicated listing.

And please use punctuation in your posting x_o

More importantly, to his eBay listings!

Perhaps you should check your listings.

Do you happen to know whether a slightly different price will have the same effect? 

The reason I ask is that I use Auctiva auction management.  In order to prepare multi-variation listings and still have the benefit of the Auctiva frames, fonts, etc. I would have to upgrade to a higher Auctiva monthly fee, which I'd rather no do for just a dozen or so items.  I suppose I could list them directly on eBay, but I don't like the "plain Jane" appearance of eBay listings.
