Hi there,

I've spent the last 5 or 6 hours (today) creating listings through the bulk listing tool only to find all of my listings disappeared when I accidentally hit the back button on my browser. This happened after I had finished inputting info into each listing (I clicked "save and next" between each listing) and just before I was about to upload pics.

I assumed after hitting the back button accidentally the listings would show up in my drafts but none are there. I had no previous drafts in my drafts folder and all of these listings were created today (i.e. I know this isn't an issue with draft time and quantity limits).

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there some backdoor way to find those listings or did I just waste my day?

Thanks in advance

I've started using variable listings for some of my merchandise because I can make one listing for an entire series of comics. Hundreds of separate issues with just one listing where the customer can just pick the issues they want to buy from that title all in one place. I spent days making a listing that had 300+ issues all with several photos for each book. I constantly saved it to Drafts and even made a separate copy of it as another draft. And they both just disappeared right after I finally finished and was ready to post. So now I just list it before It's complete and just add issues as I go by editing the listing to avoid losing a weeks worth of work ever again

Having never created a listing on eBay I have no idea how to help you.

But as a fellow human who has done it before let me just say ooooooooo I am soooooo sorry (if you lost all the work).

I hate photobucket right now... PS Answers given years ago may or may not be current now, please check with current posters to the boards to see if the information is still relevant.

Thanks for the support... I have a feeling there won't be a solution for this so empathy is the next best thing haha

@mrbeechum

Are you using Seller Hub?

If so, here is an alternative page that might be worth checking to see if anything appears under "saved drafts":
