MC999 - items removed technical glitch

[Juicyas]

Got an email from ebay with this in the title. Before I read it I vomited in my mouth a little bit


MC999: eBay items removed for technical problem - userID
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello userID (email),

Due to a technical issue in eBay's system, the start time of one or more of your items was set to 5 days in the future, meaning that buyers would not have been able to find them on the site. To correct this, we've removed them from the site and credited all associated fees.


Anyone ever seen that one before?

Wow, Never in my life have I seen that!

Interesting...

[Juicyas]

As long as nothing further happens I guess it's nothing to worry about *touch wood*

[upsidedown]

That actually happened to quite a few ebayers last year right around this time- it was just a system wide error from what I remember

[Juicyas]

Ok that sounds positive then... I swear I was nearly sick when I saw ebay email and MC###

Due to a technical issue in eBay's system, the start time of one or more of your listings was set to 5 days in the future, meaning that buyers wouldn't have been able to find the items on our site. To correct this, we've removed them from the site and credited all fees associated with these ended listings.

These are the items we removed; please feel free to relist them:


Has anyone else received this message ?
Is it something to worry about ?

No need to worry. It's eBay system error. No damage to accounts. Happened on eBay.ca before.
