How to extend expiry date on ebay drafts ?

sparkiemalarkie

Hi I have saved a number eby listings as drafts and they have 15 days left before they need to be listed or they disappear.
I'm not ready to list them yet and would like to extend the expiry date.
Any idea how I can do this please?

Could you simply save the content into a word document ready to relist?

You could schedule them to start on a particular date, set a reminder for a day or so before they are due to start and then edit the scheduled start date/time to a later date.

Alternatively, you could list and then immediately end them - the listings would then be in the "ended" section of so you could "sell similar" once you were ready to list them. I think that the ended listings stay there for 60+ days. Don't do this if there's  a listing offer for this weekend that you've accepted though, as doing this will eat into those.

I'd 2nd that - I save my drafts off eBay, as (my theory being with no evidence whatsoever) I fear not getting FVF Offers if I have a shed load of Drafts sitting there for weeks on end. Soon as I've accepted the Offer on a Wednesday, I transfer the text over along with pre-snapped photos. It then gives me a few days to tidy up listings before Friday D-Day...Display-Day.

you could just list at a ridiculous price, and then when you are ready to sell alter the price to something more realistic.
Also I had a load of drafts that were going to expire I just listed them and then instantly ended. a few weeks later from the "ended listings" bit I just found them and relisted

I would do as olgadapolga suggests, just schedule them and keep rescheduling in bulk until you want to list  them.

There’s no need to over complicate things.
