Hi all, Can't find any threads more recent than 2016 on this, but am wondering if the maximum number of drafts that you can have is still 20? And how long are they available for?

Also any advice on how to save ended listed, ie. any replacement for turbolister, otherhan havind documents?

TIA.

Thanks to much twynnie

From your link:

'Tip
You can save drafts of your listings to finish later. You’ll find your drafts on the Drafts page in My eBay, or on the Manage Drafts page in Seller Hub. You can save up to 250 drafts through the quick listing tool on eBay.com and the eBay mobile app, and up to 5,000 through the single and bulk advanced listing tools in Seller Hub. Drafts expire after 30 days.'

So I don't use the quick listing tool, but I do use seller hub, so does that mean I can have up to 5,000? (Of course I don't need that many! :D)

And when the 30th day is coming up you just refresh, don't you? And then they get a new beginning date so would still be ok for another 30?

Sorry if I'm asking silly questions, but don't want any nasty surprises. Thanks again. Much appreciated.

So back to my question re which date the 30 day period starts (before the draft expires). Is it the 'Created date' or the 'Last updated date'?

TIA

This link says 30 days, but gives no indicator of the date that is taken into account. I'm assuming it's probably the date created?
