Template from Existing Listing

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how to make a template from an existing listing? I'm not talking about sell one like this, etc.

I have a bunch of old bamboo flower vases that have similar characteristics other than dimensions.

On the active listings or drafts page there's a link to the left under settings for making a listing template.

Thanks @dbfolks166mt 

I guess I'm not surprised that doing this results in a completely blank template with NOTHING filled in. Totally useless.

Yes but not from an active listing.

I just created a template and it saved everything I had entered into it. 🤔

ETA: I did it from scratch, though.

In trying to avoid the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad latest selling form , I have been going to an Unsold listing (I suppose I could close an active listing) clicking on Sell Similar, making my new listing on the older form that appears, and then at the end of the form, clicking on Make Template.

This is probably an awkward way to do it, but it has worked for me.

     That is generally what you start with when you create a template. You set the fields you want to remain constant and once you have the template created you fill in the specifics for the individual items.

Yeah, it's late and my laziness is kicking in. I guess it needs to take a break for now.

Thanks everyone, I'll just make one from scratch.

I'm not finding the new listing form all that bad - it's junky and klunky (their previous iteration was better) but it doesn't take me any longer to list with it than with the 'classic' form.  I just have to remind myself that eBay gets its IT personnel from the peanut gallery and I can't really expect much.
