Why does eBay delete unlisted items after 3 months?

[collectablejeff]

Coming back from FT seasonal work to carry on with eBay through winter and find that i have lost 150 plus unlisted items. I have been active just not as much through summer. I never knew there was a time limit. A lot of work listing these items only to have to do again.

Hi...ebay computers are like people in some way, when people eat too much they gain weight, then they need to exercise to loose the weight.

The computers are the same when too much information is stored and not being used they tend to slow down, that is one reason ebay deletes them.

You might want to consider trying TL (Turbo Lister) and have that information saved on your computer and bring up at anytime you like, here is some information on TL:
