Ebay Unsold Items to be deleted, I have no more free listings. :( Anything to do

[Thunderwing]

I have 200 items sitting on my unsold items list that are due to expire (be deleted) tomorrow. I called ebay, they were of no help at all. I haven't gotten a 'list free items' promotion in two months, and I can't afford the listings fees for that many items. I have used up my 50 free listings for this month. I used to get at least one promotion a month, which was great!  I haven't had any problems with buyers or with my account to explain why they suddenly stopped.

Is there any way to save a copy of the listings so they don't get deleted? I spent so many hours doing up those listings and uploading photos over a slow and glitchy connection, I really don't have the heart to go through that all again.

I haven't gotten a free promotion for 2 months either. What I do is save copies in a folder so I only have to copy and paste my listings and re-upload my photos. I know it's a pain in the butt but I don't understand why eBay has decided against the promotions?

I agree that this seems like the best option.  Even though it's a pain.

copy and paste them into ms word. That's what I do with my listings.

I can't remember exactly but I believe it you install turbo Lister (free) it should make a backup of all of your current and past auctions.

If you click "sell similar" it will give you a new copy.  Then you can save it as a draft (it might be called "list later").

I did think of this as an option to try.... after they were already gone.  >.<  Guh. Maybe I need to be using Etsy instead.

Okay, I thought I was the only one not getting listing promotions anymore.  At least I'm not alone, but I hope they change this soon!
