Update to listing and selling in the app? Drafts are suddenly too easy to delete!!!

Hi everyone....

I was was just wondering, is anyone else is having this same problem as me? There seems to have been an update very recently-- like, last 48 hours-- to the the listing/selling part of the eBay app, because I noticed the screen for selecting a picture for a draft is suddenly different. But what I ALSO noticed is different is that when I'm working (or just scrolling) on the selection screen for drafts I am suddenly accidently deleting drafts left and right! Even the slightest deviation from scrolling perfectly straight down on the phone screen is dragging/selecting the drafts and basically making them fly off the screen at the slightest touch and being instantly deleted. No prompt about whether I want to or not. I have accidently deleted EIGHT drafts already today, and have literally never accidently deleted a draft before. Even when I'm being super careful they're just getting deleted in a flash. It seems to only take the tiniest bit of red showing on the screen and they fly off, deleted.

 

Luckily they have all been replaceable drafts so far, but it's a real waste of time to have to do so. But sooner or later I'm going to delete an important one I can't remake. I save old sold listings as drafts if they are an item I have more of to relist later, so once that sold listing is older than 45-90 days, I can't get that draft back, and I also have drafts with pictures that can't be replaced.

 

I foresee this being a BIG problem sooner or later if it's not addressed. Any one else suddenly having this same issue? Am I mistaken, or did it used to prompt you to confirm deletion before it was deleted? Because I'm sure it did, and it really, really needs to added whether it prompted before or not.

Yes, its been happening for some of us for much longer.

 

The only way Ebay can fix is if they know about it...put in a ticket for the problem. The more tickets the faster it may be addressed.

I came here to COMMUNITY for the VERY SAME REASON!

I work so hard on my drafts on the computer. Then, when I am scrolling through them on my phone app, I accidentally delete them because it is SO SENSITIVE! Can ebay PLEASE fix this issue?!

When you want to delete a draft on the computer, it makes you push the DELETE button twice and then asks if you are sure. Why can't the same be said for the app?

It's so irritating because sometimes it happens so fast that I don't even know what I deleted. I have to go back through all my notes, etc to figure out which one was deleted and then draft it again.

PLEASE FIX THIS EBAY!!
