Draft listings are duplicating..why?
Is anybody else finding that when they create a draft listing and then save it to continue working on it later that it adds a duplicate draft listing? In other words, two drafts are added and not the one single draft meaning the second one has to be deleted. It has been going on for many months and is driving me mad to be honest. I have been on eBay for years and it is not something that used to happen.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Mentor3 weeks agoI do not make a practice of saving drafts, and as far as I know have never had this happen.
I can only suggest when creating a listing either finish it or as I sometimes do, schedule into the future, then edit when I return, before listing,

OP3 weeks agoThanks for the advice Jon but listings straight off just doesn't work for me - I have over 300 listings sat in drafts which I create and add to on a daily/weekly basis ready to be formally listed later in the year for the Christmas sales which is when these items will sell best. I also enhance my shop at this point - there is zero value in doing this by listing items in Jan - Sept that just don't sell well. In years gone by, I have waited til September to photo and list my 'Christmas pile' - it takes days and days and is an exhausting process which can breed mistakes so I now 'list' them as I go which is working well for me other than the annoyance of eBay duplicating nearly ever draft! If I were to schedule listings then these can easily be forgotten about and suddenly I have scores of listings that I didn't want to list until later in the year if you see what I mean. Thanks again and best wishes.
