Quite often, you can be in the middle of creating a new item
listing and the phone will ring or the doorbell will chime. Don’t want to
cancel your listing and start again? Easy, just save the listing as a draft
and you can come back to it later.
As you go through the various steps in filling out the “Sell Your
Item” form, each time you get to the bottom of a page and select “Continue”, the
eBay system automatically saves all the data you’ve keyed in so far.
So when you’re ready to complete your listing, just make sure you
are signed in to eBay and then select the Sell option at the top of any eBay page.
There you will see "Complete Your Listing" - click on this and you’ll
be able to carry on with your listing where you left off.
You have plenty of time to use the saved draft – it will remain
accessible for up to 30 days. There are rare occasions when the eBay system
encounters a problem and a draft does not get stored – but that is very
unusual so on the vast majority of occasions, you can just continue completing
the next section of your listing.
If more than 30 days have gone by since your draft listing was
saved, then you will need to start again from scratch and this new listing will
become the saved draft (you can only have one draft at a time).
Each time creation of a listing is “paused”, the eBay system will
automatically send you an email after about three weeks to remind you that
your draft will shortly expire. Information about which step you got up to in
your listing creation, together with a “Complete Your Listing” link are
contained in the email to help you access the saved draft.
