BOM now failing on USA

BOM now failing on USA - all items show "Not found" or "Not on server".

If you right click and select 'Browser' they show up in the browser OK.

Anyone else? Other sites?

I'm getting the same results. Items not found or not on server when updating an item. Cannot add new items. Items currently listed in BOM can be brought up in browser.

This morning I can update auctions in BOM, but I still cannot add new items to BOM.

Just a note to close my comments. Not sure what happened but all is now working for me again.

It was working again but I had a bid set this morning and I got an 'Error' result. When I click on that, instead of an error page I got this eBay page:

Home > Buy

All Categories
Antiques
Antiquities
Architectural & Garden
Asian Antiques
Books & Manuscripts
MoreMore

Art
Direct from the Artist
Art from Dealers & Resellers
Wholesale Lots
.... (etc - a page of this)

I don't understand this error but my bid didn't go in. This has happened before to me - very annoying.

Any actual fixes available?

Gleiches Problem (leider) auch bei mir - ebay.com und motors.ebay.com funktionieren nicht mehr, Status: Artikel "2 mal nicht gefunden" ...

Gibt es eine Lösung?

DANKE

Once again I cannot add new items to BOM. When I try to update an existing item in BOM it says the item cannot be found. But I can click on the item in BOM and it opens the browser to display it. Same thing that happened back in July. It seemed to correct itself after a day or so back then so it probably will again.

I am getting "Item does not exist on server" for every item using ServerStrings_ebay.com.ini.

I get slightly better results using ServerStrings_ebay.ca.ini.

However, there is definitely a problem with the Server Strings for the USA.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks....

Could anyone having the problems try these modifications?

So far it looks good. (It was a SOB on Windows 7 - I had to run Notepad as an administrator to edit the .ini file).

Update: the bid amount field stays green even if one or more bids have been placed. I've attached a picture of the popup you get if you hover over the current bid.

One day you'll have to document what these mean. Lines like

ansLoginOk="bstab-padd"
ansLoginOk2="SIGNEDIN"
ansUserField="user"

are too cryptic to decode (Only Clear If Already Known - OCIAK).

It's not the "bstab-padd" that puzzles me - it's the ansLoginOk=
