unsold items gone after 90 days?

[delbeano13]

I have several items that I've not been able to relist since December. I can't find them and see that I can only find items unsold in the last 90 days. Are these listings lost and unavailable for me to relist? Is there anyway to retreive thse listings? TIA

Sorry, they are gone. There is no way to retrieve them.

After 90 days, listings aren't actually purged, but they are no longer included in regular searches.

Sometimes the links in confirmation emails will work for a long time.

Sometimes you can bring up old listings by entering the listing number at the end of this URL:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/

For instance, here's an item you sold last November:

Thank you.  I've just tried it with a few and they are lost. 😞

Is there a current software that works with eBay that will save a listing?  I get eBay might not want to dedicate the space, but there has to be way for a seller to save the listings to be relisted at a later date.

Just by trial and error anyways, we found that after 90 days in the selling manager the listing can still be retrieved but your photos will be deleted...pretty cruddy..............................................
