eBay

Today's glitch...

Vast majority of my "on sale" items (which are markedly old items):

When one sees the item in a list, all looks normal, thumbnail picture is there

If one opens the item the picture that was thumbnailed shows as "Image not available", which is kinda confusing as it is there for the thumbnail.

Anyway fortunately the items are old enough it harkens back to the day when I put pictures in the item description linked to my own hosting site so if the buyer opens the item they'll see everything except the "main" picture.

Sigh.

Last week, I sold two items I do not have as I sold them months ago. Both listings I did a sell similar and changed all the language. Changed the title, changed the pictures, uploaded, viewed the title, and moved on.

Somehow, it seems to have reverted back to the original listing.

How? Can I prove this? No. Is anyone going to believe me? No. That is more cancels for not in stock, in one week, than I have had in 5-7 years.

"Glitch of the day"

Woke up this morning, got dressed.... just to realize a bit later that I was wearing a blue sock and a brown sock.

The brain is glitching..... I must have spent too much time on eBay, it is rubbing off!

Pierre, I think you're actually in fashion if you were a few years younger! As I recall my son thinks two different socks is the right way to dress every day!!!!

I reported something very similar to Raphael a few weeks ago -- it's still on his "glitches of the month" list.

I have several pairs of a blue and a brown sock.

I checked a few of your on sale items and the main pic did show when I clicked on the listing. I wonder if it is a browser issue, an off/ on issue or if it has been fixed now?

pjcdn2005 · ‎10-26-2015

That problem has been mentioned quite a bit on the .com boards lately...more so than usual.

pjcdn2005 · ‎10-26-2015

I'm still trying to figure out how one sock in a pair can somehow disappear between the laundry basket and the dryer. Perhaps I should start mismatching pairs and then I don't have to worry about it!

There are men's socks in colours other than black?

Fancy!

Here in the Capital Of The Borsch Belt, it is gray wool socks with sandals.

I would think that mr.elmwood would know that a clothes dryer is a portal into one of many parallel universes and socks are transported to and from other universes. So you lose a sock once in a while and occasionally get a sock leading to mismatched socks.

I would be wary of wearing mismatched socks. The consequences to the universes is unknown.

You could do what my husband does, buys all black socks, same design and maker, then you never mismatch, and never know if you lose one! Oh, and they have to be made in Canada.

Well I haven't put on any socks yet, so no worries if they match. LOL

Started doing some auction listings today using sell similiar. When I previewed,all looked well ,but when I listed it reverted back to the old listing 😞
