    Seasonal ads
                     

    Is there a way to store a seasonal ad until a later time. I want to end my Winter listings but don’t want to have to go through all of the hassle of creating ads all over for next year. I would think eBay would have a way to take down ads and archive them intact till needed again. Templates are limited to 50 and seem a clunky process. There should be a one button way to store a listing for future use. Am I missing something?

    I keep my seasonal items listed all year.  Halloween and Christmas items sell all year round.

    Thank you. Your reply is very helpful. I have been trying to avoid the cost of a Store. That is why I was keeping my number of listings below 250. I suppose year round is an option. Perhaps I should get serious about a Store. 
    Again, Thanks.

    There isn't a way to do this on eBay, easily.

     

    I don't take seasonal listings down, I find they sell all year round.


    An option would be:

    End listings

    Listings will stay in "unsold" for 90 days

    You could then "sell similar" and make a draft which will last 75 days from the last edit (keep editing and the time extends)

    That will get you 8 months (watch your drafts)

     

    Other people use 3rd party listing software to store lisitngs

    - Auctiva
    - InkFrog

    - Vendoo 

    etc

     

    Third-party Apps have a separate fee, but it may be worth it to do what you would like to be done.
