You connect your store, snap a photo, and the app asks you to verify your email. You tap retry. Nothing happens. You tap it again. That screen had no other way out, and it wasn't an edge case, it was happening to sellers trying to get their first item listed. Some of you also watched the store enroll popup stack a second one right on top of the first. This week we shipped three releases back to close both, along with a matching build now in front of Apple and Google for review. None of this should feel like news. It should just feel like the app getting out of your way.
Where the app was getting people stuck
You connect your store, snap a photo, and the app asks you to verify your email. You tap retry. Nothing happens. You tap it again.

This section is about where the app was getting people stuck. The short version: ListForge should match what eBay is actually doing, and when it cannot, you should see a real reason instead of silence.
The verified-email screen that only said "retry"
On the verified-email screen that only said "retry": the goal is the same shop-floor correctness. If a listing looks fine in ListForge but is wrong on eBay, or a publish fails without a usable error, that is the bug class this ship uses. If your email verification screen only gave you "retry" with nowhere else to go, or the store enroll popup kept stacking on itself, you weren't listing, you were stuck. We closed both this week across three releases.
The enroll-store popup that wouldn't stop stacking
On the enroll-store popup that wouldn't stop stacking: the goal is the same shop-floor correctness. If a listing looks fine in ListForge but is wrong on eBay, or a publish fails without a usable error, that is the bug class this ship uses. If your email verification screen only gave you "retry" with nowhere else to go, or the store enroll popup kept stacking on itself, you weren't listing, you were stuck. We closed both this week across three releases.
Three releases in one week, and why that's the point
On three releases in one week, and why that's the point: the goal is the same shop-floor correctness. If a listing looks fine in ListForge but is wrong on eBay, or a publish fails without a usable error, that is the bug class this ship uses. If your email verification screen only gave you "retry" with nowhere else to go, or the store enroll popup kept stacking on itself, you weren't listing, you were stuck.

A quieter fix on the eBay side worth knowing about

Update ListForge, run a full inventory sync on the store that used to drift, and compare Active to what eBay still has live. If numbers still disagree, tell us. list-forge.ai
