Does anyone, besides me, hasve EBay 'lose' photos on Inventory, [again], and also on NEW Drafts? I lost thousands of photos in inventory, and am slowly getting them re-taken, but lately, maybe ther month of October, I am again losing Drafts that are all set up, and waiting for me to list them. What the h*ll is going on?

I think there is a limit on the number of drafts? How many do you have waiting?

What do you mean lost thousands of photos? Anybody that has digital photos knows to keep 2 or 3 copies on a external drive, USB drive or in the cloud.

To expect people to grow a business and be able to stash photos away from thousands of transactions ago is a bit far-fetched in my opinion. Seems it would be easy for ebay to keep the photos somewhere, themselves. However, photos get wiped out at an alarming, uncalculable rate for us. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Pffft. Combing though 20,000 pictures might sound like a gas to some.

I'd just rather re-take one thank you.

I would however love it if ebay lost all their crummy stock photos.

I must have over 10,000 pics but have them in easy to find folders with no more than 200 in each. I can find one in 30 seconds.

Maybe 50 +/-.

bobharrah · ‎11-03-2018

Oh, sure I have them, and I KNOW how to keep them, but try to find one or two of 3000! I have a back-up, and all the rest, but when one has a picture from 2016 or whenever, it is no fun looking for item when EBay is supposed to be keeping in is their [expensive] Seller Hub. I mean, if there is a time limit, say so. If there is a risk of loss, say so.

bobharrah · ‎11-03-2018

That is commendable if you are paying for Seller Hub, and do not mind wasting your time renewing your pics. But I ask you the same qwuestion: Does EBay lose your photos, and I mean lately, not that last fiasco which they issued an 'apology'?

I usually have around 100 saved drafts that I am working on at any given time. I have not experienced any lost photos after I have uploaded them and then saved the draft.

Here is some info on drafts

eBay lost most photos attached to inventory items / templates back in May. Are you saying that it has happened again?
