Creating a new listing, can't save draft

I am trying to add a listing with a long list of 2 variations. I was able to save a draft when I added one list of variations. But I cannot save the draft after adding the second list of variations. On my computer I get the "uh oh something has gone awry" message. I've read on the forums to try using the phone app to add the variations. So I tried that but got the message "the request timed out." Is anyone else having a problem with saving new draft listings? Im not sure what to do.

I don't use variations, but did you maybe forget to add the "returns" component at the very end of the listing? It's all I could think of, with my very limited knowledge.

No Im not trying to publish it yet, just want to save the variations. I read 70 is the maximum allowed, 70 won't work. I tried dropping one, and 69 doesn't work either.

@RavenHils If you can't save it as a draft, publishing it is the only way to make sure you don't lose it. Publish it, deactivate it, then continue to work on it. $.20 is a small price to pay for not losing all the work.

@RavenHils   This is what I do; I've never used Save as Draft.  If I have a very quick edit to make, I'll leave the listing live and make it.  But if it isn't a quick edit, I always use Publish then Deactivate.

Sometimes you can't save the draft if not all the listing is filled out. I don't know if yours was or not, obviously. The save always works for me, but I have never put over about 3 variations before, sooo...

I’m having the same problem. As soon as I add the second variant I get a warning and it times out. It’s posts to my shop anyway but the variants are gone yet it’s telling me it can’t post and leaves me on the listing page saying there’s  an error. I’m so frustrated right now.
