Can ebay let me have my draft listings back that were deleted after 75 days

[51rickwood]

Due to the ebay changes earlier this year it was no longer viable to sell my wares on ebay. I put my unsold item listings onto draft listings so I could pick them up again later rather than start again if that changed. Some of the recent changes could mean that for certain listings it is viable for me again but I hadn't realised that the draft listings are deleted automatically after 75 days. I can't work out how to get in contact with a real person either by phone or online chat (the automated chat didn't help) so I wonder if anybody knows whether ebay can give me back access to those deleted drafts. Many thanks.

No sorry,drafts are only saved for 75 days then completely removed from the servers.

It's a shame that you didn't notice the message about this because you could've just gone back into them and made a revision or two, that would've given you another 75 days from the update.

In all fairness to eBay, they do make this clear:
