I cannot deactivate or delete listings

I cannot deactivate or delete active listings. I get the "Oops. something went wrong" message. It has been going on for at least 2 days. It is happening on multiple computer systems. I've sent a help ticket... but my last 3 help tickets have been closed without any correspondence from Etsy. They just close them without resolution. It takes weeks for them even to bother to do that. I am in the process of moving, and certain things are packed and need to be deactivated. I'm not ready to put my shop on hold yet. Has anyone had this issue? Was it solved? How did you solve it?

Plenty of threads in the technical issue forum about problems with renewing, deactivating etc.

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

We know that you can renew a listing if you do it from the listing itself - perhaps deactivate works there too?

Unable to relist our sold out items.  Sadly, the weekends are our best selling days.  .

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

edit them and renew them 1 by 1, that is the only way for now.

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

I have not been able to deactivate or delete either the last 2 days.  Just had one of my girlfriends try on her computer and did not work.  I went in and put "SOLD OUT" in the listing title; at least that she work for now. Frustrating.

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

I was able to delete a listing today using the app ... it seemed not to work at first, but it did disappear after I renewed the page.

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

Can you click on the listing and manually renew it? That's the only way it's been working for the past couple of days. I can no longer check the boxes to quickly renew listings.

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

There are many posts on this.  I have tried to alert Etsy by flagging some of the old threads that have been dragged out in hopes that the moderator will contact Etsy for us.  A long shot but hope it helps a little bit.

@MedicineBluffStudio  just Edit rather than Renew to renew your sold listing.

These technical gliches are getting annoying. I can't delete deactivated listings or do a few other things.

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

Oh no!  I hope this is worked out. This can be very problematic if a listing is no longer available for sale.

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

This has been going on for days, it's impossible yo do anything!

Not only are we missing out on sales but Etsy is too.....get a move on ( or at least let us know what's going on instead of this silence!) will you and get this fixed!

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

I can't delete or deactivate a listing either - driving me mad - have been trying for 2 days - will also have to add SOLD OUT to the title - very bad service from Etsy

Re: I cannot deactivate or delete listings

I had to do it from the Sell on Etsy app. It won't do it from the website for some reason.
