I have 7 drafts that were deleted last night and

2 of these I had just been working on.

None were 30 days old.

There was only a total of 17.

Any one having the same problem?

Any solution to keep this from ever happening again?

I have sporadic problems with the drafts as well. Just this morning I see most of my drafts are gone except for 5. Had probably 20 or so yesterday (some of which I completed and listed yesterday)

I also notice that oftentimes the photos saved in the drafts don't go up with the listing, and I have to re-upload them.

Not sure what is going on with the drafts feature, but it sure hasn't been working well for me for 2 or 3 months. Very frustrating!

All 600+ of my drafts are gone as of this morning. I've called and talked to several ebay reps and no help. They just said I must've deleted them which I know I did not. I had drafts from Nov-Jan and I update them before 30 days are up so they don't get deleted so I know how that system works but this time they just deleted them all. Please anyone help or give me some info on how to get them back. I'm about to just quit ebay due to this huge issue. It takes me about 20-30min per draft since I have unique items that take time and long description. Thanks, Joe

Thank you to the 2 ebayers that have added to this message.

I have seen many crys for help concerning this issue over several years.

-

My question is - Why would eBay bother to delete our drafts?

Why is this not our option as the store owner - who pays rent?

-

Please Ebay Tech - respond to these questions.

Thank you

eBay does not monitor this forum.

Additional data: My 2 drafts are still there, and I never recall any being deleted, other than fading away from old age.

I've found that the draft listing process is spawning multiple drafts from one draft, causing my drafts to go over the 20-draft limit and deleting perfectly good older drafts before the 30-day period is over. What a waste of my time.

>>What a waste of my time.

You surfacing any thread you could find that contains the word draft to post the same rant is a waste of my and everyone else's time.
