    I now have some items appearing in triplicate!
    I am hoping noone buys anything!
    What a shambles.

    Thank God I noticed your posting before I listed too many items today.

    The few items I have listed have all been duplicated as well - so far non in triplicate!

    Nothing else is going to be listed by myself until there is a thumbs up that all is OK again. If I had listed several 100 items it would have been a nightmare sorting them all out!

    Am I the only person suffering this problem?

    I've now received another bunch of 'start notifications' for listings uploaded this morning!

    Some listings have now been duplicated 4 times!

    HELP

    So it is not just me. I guess that should convince Delcampe that there is a problem.

    This problem looks as if it has all the hallmarks of a significant glitch.

    Nothing from Delcampe about it so far.

    Surprisingly the Forum is fairly quiet as normally a glitch of this magnitude gets everyone jumping up and down. Probably no one else has noticed yet - I would not have known except for the posting here about it.

    Although I do check my listings I sometimes leave it for several hours so could have uploaded several hundred items before I noticed anything was amiss.

    I only picked this up because the 'auction start' notification kept (keep) coming through and I thought I'd better check. I was not happy to find multiple listings of the same item - no wonder the site clogs up!

    I have reported the matter to Delcampe but am awaiting an acknowledgement that there is a system problem.

    The situation just gets worse - some of my listings are now duplicated 5 times ... and still no acknowledgement from Delcampe that a problem exists!

    I only listed about five items earlier of which three duplicated - I have not checked recently to see if they have had further off-spring or not.

    Certainly I would be very alarmed if they duplicate as many times as yours have done.

    Surprising no one else has come in to say its been happening to them - or is nobody listing today?

    No one seems to be buying - this may be a blessing in disguise!

    I'll probably have to fix this glitch manually soon if I don't hear anything from Delcampe.

    Some acknowledgement / response from Delcampe would be helpful so that we can know what action to take. As stated above I now have some listings which are duplicated 5 times!

    Thank goodness the way I list, I was able to display just today's listings in alphabetical order in my "ongoing sales". I've deleted all the duplicates. I will check again later to see if there still is a problem (i.e. if it has recurred).

    Looked on the French forum, but can't see anything mentioned there. Just someone complaining that his items haven't uploaded yet - so I tagged on to that in bad French to make them aware of it.

    Hello,

    There is indeed a problem on our end. Our team is presently checking.

    Thanks for your patience.

    I am reluctant to start removing items until I know that the problem is fixed. The lack of Delcampe response is also not helpful. I may have to make a decision, same as yours, a bit later.

    I just wish the site was more stable.

    Seb, is the team going to be able to reverse this duplication or is it going to be up to the sellers to sort it out?

    To add further confusion some of the duplicated listings are not marked as 'New'.

    I too have now started to remove the duplicated listings as buyers are starting to view and are no doubt confused by the duplication - since all the listings are 'used' stamps. And my site is now showing multiple listings of the same 'used' stamp! Not good.

    The team is presently working on removing the duplicates.

    The original problem has been fixed some minutes ago.

    Thank you for pointing this out.

    I listed about 60 items in the last couple of days but checked just now and all seems OK
