WHY AM I GETTING THIS MESSAGE AFTER POSTING FOR SALE?

[Shar-Ken]

I have tried to design some scalloped-edged flat cards.  The first one had no problems whatsoever. Three I tried to do after that allow me to go through the complete posting for sale only to have the following message pop up.  I have no idea why.  The reasons that are listed as far as I know do not apply since the first card (same scalloped-edged flat card) went through without that message occuring. (The images are all mine and I do not think florals are objectionable content.  I did not remove the product.  Not sure what they mean by ID not valid.) Anyone have this happen before and or know why it is happening?  Thank you.

This is what pops up:

Product designed by whatawonderfulworld is no longer available

<< Go back to where you were

This product is unavailable due to one of the following reasons:

• 1. You do not have access to the product
• 2. The product ID is not valid
• 3. The product was deleted by the independent creator
• 4. The product was removed due to our Acceptable Content Guidelines and User Agreement

Hi @Shar-Ken, see this thread: https://community.zazzle.com/t5/technical-issues/flat-card-no-longer-available/m-p/30666#M2871

Thank you so much Laura for your prompt reply and helpful link.  I tried to find info and guess I did not use the magic search phrase/words that took me to the postings about it.   So, where does this all stand at this point?  I wasn't exactly clear on whether we should hold off on trying any more of these designs for now or if it is now fixed or is there a work-around?   The strange thing is that the first one I designed got through with no problems at all--that message never came up. It was just the three  subsequent ones that had the problem.  Wonder why the first one worked?

Laura, I meant to add that ALL of the flat scalloped  cards that had that message about the. product no longer being available not only went through the sales posting but also I received the emails from zazzle that say: 

Hi whatawonderfulworld,

Good news! The following products have been published and should appear in the Zazzle Marketplace and in your store within 24 hours!

   So, it is confusing me.  I unfortunately deleted  the cards because I did not want people going to the site only to find that they were no longer available.  Now I am not sure I should have deleted them.   If I design more, and get that message, should I just ignore it and proceed?   (rhetorical question)

I too received the published email for the one I created and received the error, it eventually (the next day) was flagged as a discontinued product option (hence the error message). I set that one to direct only so the mods could still see it if necessary. I then created a new one using the general link from the previous mentioned thread.

Not sure, perhaps the 1st card you created was from an existing design and the subsequent ones were from the create your own blanks? or did your 1st card also get flagged as discontinued later?

Until things change, the work-around is what we should use.

Laura, I have tried again to design on the scalloped (bracketed) cards and the message still comes up.  But why did one get through and I keep checking it, expecting it to be also relegated to the "no longer available" group but it still seems fine.  I did nothing different that I am aware of and I started all the designs from my store home page where it says,  "create a product" which takes me to the page I always use to start my designs and go to  the Custom Gifts and into the "Home Sports and Games to the scalloped card choice.  I even went to the same card choice but under the "INVITATIONS AND STATIONERY" section where the same card is offered just to see if it made a difference from which section I chose to do my design   It made no difference.
