How do I save a draft of something I want to sell?

[boardmandan1]

Hi there.  I'm really new at this but determined.  I want to save the draft I make of my item for sale but when I click on the "save" button on the bottom of the page it disappears and says there's nothing saved.  I've done this many times but just can't get it to work.  Do I have to sign up for paypal before I do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

Paypal has nothing to do with it, it's probably just a glitch or even perhaps a failing in the browser that you're using BUT before you sell something on ebay, do buy here first because unscrupulous buyers will look at the low feedback number you have an attempt to take advantage of your inexperience. Scrulpulous buyers will just be worried that you won't know how to complete the transaction. Best of luck to you.

Do you mean the Sell Your Item Form?

If you write a listing, but do not list it, the next time you open the Sell Your Item Form the incomplete draft will be on the first page.

Hmmm. This is true of the Advanced form. As a new seller you are automatically shown the simplified form, and I'm not sure if the Draft is held on that one.

I save all my descriptions on my desktop. I just write them all in a TextEdit (open office) document and save them in a desktop folder. Been doing this since 2001. I have a LOT of saved descriptions.

My descriptions also have the HTML coding in place and saved.

I don't usually save pictures, although I could, but I prefer to use a scan of the exact item I am selling rather than a stock picture.
