Deleting Seller Listings

[ksl9898]

Ebay remove my Listings:

I have a store and was in the hospital for two months; my store was on vacation. It is obvious that ebay does not care about ther sellers or the time it takes to relist an item.   If you pay for a store ebay should not be deleting anything for at least 6 months and have a way to recover the seller's listing.  After being in the hospital and then realizing ebay deleted my listings with no notice, it is very depressing it has made me angry.  The professtional business thing to do is to send an email prior to deleting a seller's listing... And with the monthy fees we pay, ebay should not be deleting listings at all in my opinion.

Ebay why don't you give a flip about your sellers?

I’ve had a website for 21 years.  Loved it.  Jewelbiz.com 

My web host who I paid 21 years suddenly without warning deleted my entire website & 

when I finally got an answer why where is it? they said the code was too old!

Gone deleted, no website!  No warning.  Nothing..

Now I need new webmaster new website.

Yada Yada Yada...

Web companies suck!

So you didn't have GTC listings?   I'm not sure how ebay would know you were in the hospital (certainly sympathy toward your situation) and you wanted to continue the listings?

I safeguard my listings by using Turbo Lister, as I have for about a decade now. That way I have a backup of every listing I have ever created stored as a data file on my computer.

Unfortunately, eBay promised to provide a new tool with similar capabilities about 18 months ago, but still has not delivered one - and new sellers can no longer download and install Turbo Lister. 

If eBay eventually kills Turbo Lister without providing a suitable replacement, I will have to find a new third-party tool or be forced to start using File Exchange.

But either way, there is no way I would ever rely on eBay to safeguard my work. That is my job.

If your email inbox is still full of emails from eBay that say "Relisting xxx is easy...." or some other similar sentence that contains the word segment "relist"  even as much as a year ago, you can isolate those emails in your inbox and open each in turn, click on the link and it'll open up the old listing so you can relist. You might or might not have to reload the picture but everything else should still be there.

Even when the item is not longer viewable directly through an eBay search, a lot of those links remain active for a long, long time. 

I've used that feature several times to bring up a listing that I left unrelisted for so long that I thought it was gone and it brought the listing for me. The last one was actually 2 years old and I was able to access it last week.
