loading listings - Server error - listings erased, not in draft - gone.

When I clicked "Resume Drafts" on I think about 12 listings ebay blinked and said Server Error back to Drafts where the listings were not - they are gone.  Deleted.  

These were tough listings, I had to translate each one.  I'm not eager to redo all the work but the items won't list themselves.  

In traditional business, I could contact somebody, but in trustless business, I'm left to posting to myself.  And please do not tell me to sign up with Facebook or Twitter in order to get customer service.  I coiuld go through the phone service but I really don't want to talk to someone in another country whose job is to get me off the line as quick as possible.

The amount of drafts issues I have had over the past 21 months, I feel your pain. I've called in many times about the issues but they just keep happening.

If I had lost 50 drafts, I don't know what I would do.   I do notice my colleagues are setting up their own platforms.  At least then you can only be mad at yourself. 

I can hardly get rid of my drafts, so I wonder how it happened.  It doesn't harm ebays shareholders, so they don't care

I guess the answer is we can't use the bulk loader because the listing feature is broken.  

The solution on ebay is I have to list them one at a time without execption.  Eba yisbroken and odoesn't work. It cannot be reliedon.  TRUSTLESS = NOTHING!  That is the future they want for us. Trustless.

Under this techjunta, is the only thing left for me to earn a living is to go to Pakistan to teach English?  

They seem to be killing Ebay on purpose so we can't compete with China.

Well the codus to this and my angry skree is I found a sale waiting shipment today I immediately recognized as one of the listings that vanished.    I had to dig the items out from storage - I had not wanted to have to redo them again soon and checked and find all the vanished listings are now active on the site. 

I had checked more than once and they were not showing the next morning. 

I'm glad they are up after all.
