Oops, it looks like you missed something. Please fix the problem below?

Trying to remove a reserve on an item with 15h left, and getting "Oops, it looks like you missed something. Please fix the problem below."... but there are no problems. 

Tried a few times in both Chrome and IE, cleared cache etc.

5 bids, current bid below the reserve (obviously)... not sure what the deal is.

There are certain things that you can and cannot do with a limited amount of time remaining on an auction with or without bids. This may be one of them.

Ah... lower only... which I was able to do. Made it $1 more than the current bid.

Though, under "Less than 12h" it doesn't say you can or can't change reserve pricing at all. Just not mentioned either way.

Yes, ebay active (live) listings can be a bit funny about what they allow to be revised and what they do not.

My own pet peeve is with GTC (Good Till Cancelled) listings that have multi-quantities that had sales. If you added Best Offer to that listing at any point, you cannot remove Best Offer if a sale has been made from that listing while Best Offer was added even if it was not used to make said sale.

The only way is then get rid of Best Offer on that listing is to end the listing completely and then relist but you lose all your Watchers and Purchase History that way. 

I know this because I'm trying to remove Best Offer from a specific product line that I sell because no one ever uses it, it only facilities low-ball offers and then insulting messages when those offers are declined (while the people who actually want that product just use Buy It Now) but ebay won't allow the feature to be removed. Not with a revise listing or Bulk Edit. No way, no how. Very irritating.
