"Please enter a valid value"??
Jul 26, 2011 11:40 AM

I'm trying to list my item and I have entered the title and where I want it to be listed at.  When I hit enter, it takes me back to  the "select a catergory" page and says "Please enter a valid value".  I don't know what else to mark, nothing else pertains to my listing.  Ugh, why do they have to change things. 

Starting May 1—get up to 2,500 FREE listings* every month with an eBay Stores subscription

eBay has reduced the upfront cost to sell for Store sellers!

You pay a final value fee only when you sell! Plus, the final value fees for Stores have been streamlined to just 5 competitive category-based rates as low as 4%—and never more than 9%—regardless of how you sell.

Learn more about everything eBay Stores have to offer, then use the Fee Illustrator to find the best Store option for you! Watch this tutorial to learn how.

*Pay no insertion fees for your allotted free listings per calendar month. Optional fees, including advanced listing upgrades and supplemental service fees, still apply.

HI.  From your question I wonder if you just selected the main category & did not make selections all the way down thru that sub category to the last one?   You MUST do that & if you did not then you do need to do so.

 

This is nothing new with the exception of the add valid value wording in the error message.

 

good luck, Jim

Hi. I too have the same ebay error & have talked to 2 supervisors & they told me the first time it would be fixed in 48 hours. That was October 2, 2012 lol. Niether person had a clue how to fix it & said ebay is getting calls off the hook on that error.
