My past unsold item Drafts have disappeared unfortunately so I assume ones Drafts must have a time limit before disappearing ?
I imagine I cant get them back unless anyone knows how to do it and the time frames you have to do so for future reference.
I dont sell much its only about 18 items in total with long breaks inbetween sales so am not practised in all this .

Also seem to now have the new managed payments .
Does this work out a little better with items under £10-£20 ?
It looks like ebay has just added paypals fees ie,30p plus 2.9% on top less .01% as ebay is now  charging 2.8%.

  • Managed payments is 12.8% plus 30p, I think before it was 3.4% plus 30p with Paypal so should be a little cheaper plus eBay currently only keep the 30p if you refund where as Paypal kept all the fees.

    Listings under the Unsold or Ended section will disappear eventually, perhaps after 60 or 90 days.

    Drafts are different, these are listings where you started to create a new listing and then left the SYI form, not sure how long these stay there. 

    You can put listings up and then end them straight away (basic listings should be free for private sellers), which will give you a fresh unsold listing.

    Thanks for the reply .
    Thats where I have gone wrong with unsold listings as you suggest in your last paragraph.
    I will relist and end them to keep the listing/draft  alive in the future while waiting for the 1£ FVF offers
    All the 2% an 5% offers from last years lockdown seem to be history which were good for low value items

    Just to clarify, as a private seller using the £1 promo, there are no other fees to pay, ebay pay you the full sale price minus £1.

    Correct, just the £1 if you are on managed payments.
