How long will eBay host my drafts?

I have several active items I'd like to end and save as drafts in order to relist them next fall. The last time I checked with CSR, I could save them indefinitely, as long as they were edited every month. Is this still true? Is there a more efficient...

USPS hasn't delivered item. What next?

scam and fake buyers

Ebay is being over run with fake accounts and buyers who have no intention of paying anything. In my case they bid on a car then ask for all kinds of personal information like a copy of my drivers license. They pretend they will pay by electronic tra...
