Can I generate drafts via API instead of live listings?

Hi all, 

 

I would like to bulk generate drafts in ebay in an automated fashion. First I tried the CSV upload tool, but I didn't see an action for creating drafts, just "add". Now I am exploring the APIs but I feel like it is the same issue. I want to create drafts that are editable in the UI. 

 

Is this possible? Thank you.

Hi @415_cards,

 

Currently, eBay does not offer a dedicated API for creating draft listings. However, you can explore the available Listing Management APIs and tools to manage your listings in alternative ways.

For more information, you can refer to our API documentation guide: https://developer.ebay.com/develop/selling-apps/listing-management 

 

Best regards,
eBay Developer Support

Thanks! The workaround I am going to try is using a schedule date to schedule the listing in the future. Then maybe it will be editable in the UI similar to a draft without actually being listed live yet?
