Whats going on with the site? over 20 listings i worked so hard last night, got them all ready for this morning and i was trying to finish them one by one with last thing measurments and post it but guess what, page didn't load then said session did not find, refreshed the page and now my draft is completly empty, am so sad really sad 😞
So my Question is. did that ever happen to you and did they relly gone for good or i should wait and see if they will some how come back?

I know after a certain amount of time, drafts are deleted (at least for me), but what I've done in the past and will continue to do is save any and all listings in Word just in case. That way, I only have to copy/paste.
Hopefully, someone will come along with a better answer, but I know for me eBay has been a bit wonky just as a buyer/poster since Friday. Hope this makes sense (I need more coffee).

@siler_j Try again later. The site is having problems right now. http://www.ebay.com/sts

i believe Ebay only allows twenty drafts at a time to be saved, if you were saving over twenty, that may be why your drafts disappeared. Much better to just make your drafts as far ahead as you can, then just change the launching dates later.

I know how frustrating it is when you work so hard on a listing and have to start over.
I created a few drafts last night that are still there, and I also have some drafts that have been saved since Feb 28. I would call ebay, and see is they can see them. I believe they can. This way you know your fate, and don't waste time waiting for something that won't happen.
Hope you get them back.

If you use eBay's on site tools, expect glitches to be common place and lots of work too disappear. My suggestion would be to create and save all the listing text on your computer and then cut and paste it into the listing that your creating at the time of upload. Other option would be a 3rd party listing tool, but it'll cost you.
