Is Ebay having some problems tonight? I've been trying to revise a couple of auctions tonight for about 2 hours, but when I click on "verify changes" I just keep getting errors like "input error" and "cannot display page". There isn't anything noted on ebay's announcement page of a problem at the moment. Anyone else having difficulty?

If you are using Internet Explorer, try using Netscape--a bit more eBay friendly and less tempermental.
If you are using an older version of IE, it's time to upgrade to 5.5. 4.0 was notorious and 5.0 buggy.
eBay servers are cranky and they need all the help they can get on your end of things.

Then the servers are probably just real busy and you're best off waiting a while. eBay never seems to be able to keep up with their traffic during prime evening hours. Your "errors" happen at a lot of sites when the servers overload. Bummer

I've been trying to revise off & on for hours & can't do it. It's 2:30 am on the East coast, just tried again, same message, still can't revise. At first I thought they were too busy, but I'm not so sure about that anymore.

I had the same problem yesterday! I couldn't revise the auction and I closed it in frustration. Boy am I annoyed! At least it's not just me!

It's them not you. I took a half hour to list one auction then could not revise it. I emailed them and said I give up I am going to bed. They admitted they are having problems
today and yesterday in the return mail.
( If you are a power seller they do answer you - the answer isn't any better but quicker! )

I've been having this problem for weeks! Ever since I started listing with Auction Watch, I can't seem to revise my listings. I've tried both revising and relisting and both were very difficult. The review page doesn't load all the way until the 3rd or 4th (if I'm lucky) time I hit submit. They really ought to get their act together. If they weren't the larges auction on line, I'd get out.

It was fine this am in the East. You have to do some things on eBay in non-peak time.
And do use Netscape with eBay. It is far less frustrating on their site (unfortuately).

Well I finally was able to revise 2 auctions. It's 12:30 pm on the East coast.
Last night it was impossible.

I have the same problems as you. I can never revise or relist with out having to try it dozens of times before it takes. It is the AW templates that somehow cause this problem for some people. If I use the AW blank template it works just fine. Auctionwatch will not acknowledge this problem for some odd reason. I have seen many posts about this on the AW boards and moderators will not reply or address this annoying problem except to deny it is there problem.
