eBay Error 500: The scheduled date occurs in the past. Please select a new date.

Why this happens

The date to publish the listing is in the past. Why eBay enforces this: A scheduled listing must start in the future. eBay rejects a start time that has already passed rather than guessing whether to publish immediately. When it usually happens: It usually appears when drafts scheduled days earlier are published late, or when the schedule was entered in a different time zone than the account.
