Merging all the broken Exchange posts into this one to keep them all together.
EDIT(crin): EA is aware of this issue and working on it: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/Issues-with-the-Exchange-sending-gifts-and-Friend-Requests/m-p/5...
EDIT(crin): The exchange has now been fixed. Not sure about gift sending and FR.

Do you mean Community lots?
Are you using CC? Could it be corrupt an attaching itself to your uploads resulting in the giant file sizes?

Yes, I mean community lots. I used to have cc content but i removed it and reinstalled the game. The problem still remains. I noticed the community lots are messed up. Certain lots keep reappearing. One lot that I created a couple of weeks ago showed up under the name of a different creator today. This has happened before. I wonder if my problem is related to my computer. There might as well be a problem with the community website functionality.

Maybe the other person re-uploaded your lot?

That is possible. But my problem keeps the same: my uploaded buildings do not appear on the community's exchange website. I tested this again. When I share a new building it will upload to My Studio, but it is not being shared to the community.

I had that problem in the past. I just kept trying and eventually it worked. I logged out of the site in my web browser then opened the Launcher and tried and it worked.

The exchange seems to be broken as it's not accepting any new items. I've tried to report it but I'm at a loss.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for your confirmation.

That's a shame. I can't see any uploads since the 12th which is strange. I'll ask around
