To create listings on ebay.ca I use the classic Sell Your Item form on my Desktop PC running Windows 10. Long experience has shown me that during MOST sessions of any duration the SYI form does eventually hang-up either while trying to upload photos or after hitting the update/submit listing button. Once that spinning circle starts up for any length of time the listing will almost never upload successfully. What I do when that happens is just close the hung-up SYI form right away and head on over to my drafts folder where most of the time I do find a draft version. Typically, I am able to "complete the draft" from there with no further problems, the listing generally uploads normally on the second try.
In my opinion, the save draft option found at the bottom of the SYI form is definitely NOT a reliable or desirable method of saving listings that the seller wants to list at some future date. Whenever I have listings that I don't want to list imediately I always use the Scheduled listing feature found on the SYI form, that feature functions very reliably and for non-store subcribers it is free to use. Works especially well for starting listings on preferred days and time of day. As I recall I think listings can be scheduled to start 3 weeks into the future, this can be extended very easily.
