won't let me activate listings

had a show yesterday and now trying to reactivate my listings but kept getting the message " ups something went wrong , try again "

Never happened before and i tried to close down the site and open back up , I also tried other browser.

What am I doing wrong.

I thought there was a glitch but etsy says no glitch today.

Thanks

Re: won't let me activate listings

Your shop shows 36 items for sale. Are there more that aren’t relisting?  Are they expired and you need to renew and activate?

Re: won't let me activate listings

Did you deactivate the listings or put your shop on vacation mode?

Re: won't let me activate listings

@Inges I just wanted to say this is how I do it too (most of the time anyway). It allows me to do an inventory as I'm unpacking (and then repacking my bins in a way that makes sense to me). 

Assuming the items that won't reactivate haven't expired, I'm not sure what the problem is, sorry!

Re: won't let me activate listings

Why deactivate if you put your shop on vacation?  Now you need to reactivate all those listings.  Vacation mode would have been the best way as the items would not be seen by Etsy buyers. I always just go through the listings to remove any sold before going live after vacation mode.

Chances are depending on the age of the listing there may be issues that need to be corrected.  Is it giving you that banner?  Are the core details correct?  Anything else that may be asking for attention.

If not then there may something blocking.  You don't use a VPN do you?

@Inges Are you using the app? Try a browser! If you're using a browser, try a different browser.

I see 261 items in your shop so you must be making progress.

Are you using the app?  Stop and use a browser either Chrome. Edge or Safari.
