New form STILL will not allow me to save edits!

[GreatStuff80]

Yeh, I know they posted it was fixed but it is NOT! I just made some edits ( price, photos ) to an expired listing and the only choices I am given is to discard changes, preview and list! NO option at all to save the changes in draft mode and re list later. I WAS able to do it in the old form! More wasted time. smh 

[NuriartDeko]

It happens to me too, but it only won't let me if I go to renew an expired listing and change the price. But if I renew it without changes it lets me renew it and then I log in again and it lets me change prices and other things, try it. 

[GreatStuff80]

I do NOT want to renew it right away. I just wanted to make edits and save it as a draft to list at a later date.  You can't do that. 

[BagmakerSupply]

@GreatStuff80: I don't remember it ever being possible to edit a listing and save it as a draft if that listing had ever been published.

[ArtDollsbyJD]

@GreatStuff80 

@BagmakerSupply   is correct.  You cannot make edits and then save to draft.  You can deactivate the listing if you don't want it appearing.

So we still have to list and then make changes. Etsy, there is something wrong with this picture. Let us keep the old form until you get everything working in the new form. 

[GreatStuff80]

Sorry but I am not letting Etsy force me into renewing when I want to make and save changes to renew at a later date. As soon as you renew, it starts the 4 months clock and you get charged.

[HeirloomLaceandLinen]

Yes, there is a way around it, just hopefully no one buys a renewed expired listing while we're editing it LOL.

Hello, everyone! We appreciate your reports and feedback. In case you missed it, last Friday we shared an update about the new listing form outlining improvements we’re making before it officially launches on June 25. 

Once again, we appreciate your patience as we make necessary updates to the listing experience. Keep an eye on this thread for further updates. Thank you!

[GreatStuff80]

I'll believe it when I see it. It's been over a year and the promise to update USPS ground advantage,  first class and parcel select shipping options never happened! 

[hopeandjoystudios]

Agree about Ground Advantage.  Why is it not fixed on the new form? It has been almost  a YEAR and it is still Parcel?

[BaubleShoppeBeads]

I am able to renew some listings, but the ones specifically with variations won't renew.  I did talk with chat not long ago, and the person I spoke with promised to forward the issue to their tech team.  I hope they have that issue on their list!  I did see their announcement update about our issues with renewing items.  Hopefully, tech staff will come through for us in time.

[BaubleShoppeBeads]

@GreatStuff80I think I found a work-around!!  Try renewing the old item from your sold listings page (without going into the listing form - click on the gear icon for that listing and renew from there), then open it to make your changes with new photos, etc., then publish.  I just did that to a listing I couldn't renew through the listing form, and it worked!!!

[GreatStuff80]

Issue is I do NOT want to renew it right away; just do some edits for the future. 

[GreatStuff80]

P.S.  this is also not a sold item. 

[DaysofYoreTreasures]

@GreatStuff80 

We have never been able to save changes to Expired, Sold or Inactive listings without renewing or publishing.
Switch to the old form and give it a try.

[GroundZeroCreations]

Try to preview the listing before you try to save it. That is what I had to do.

[BeadsNStyle]

I had to revert to the old form to get my renew with edits to save. I'm okay with that for now (I much prefer the old form to the new form), but what happens after the old form goes away????

[BlueCatStudioShop]

@BeadsNStyle 

I think it's something to do with a creek and no paddle.

[ArtDollsbyJD]

I just did several listings and all my edits were kept for new listings and simple editing. 

[KyaniteSkyDigitals]

I still am not always able to make any basic edits (like editing description, rearranging photos) to an existing listing that is currently active using the new listing form, so it's still happening with current active published items also. I was hoping it would be fixed by now, with only 5 days to go on the old listing form.

[KyaniteSkyDigitals]

Adding that this continues to be an issue today, even after the old form has been retired. Wondering how to ever edit/update older listings...

[NancyQstudio]

It's not working for me either. I have read the updates.  But I'm still receiving the same errors. 

[GreatStuff80]

For everyone who keeps saying switch to the old form, that's what I've been doing all along.  But since that's disappearing next week, I've been trying to use the new form and it's mess of glitches. Everything takes twice as long, edits don't save, try again later error messages, and that's just for starters.  Right now I can't even get to my shop manager, dashboard, sold listings, etc. pages without first going to my account settings page. My usual log which worked fine until this morning just gets me Etsy's main page and little to nothing in the drop down under my ID. smh 

[BirthdayGoodiesShop]

I'm so used to the old form I don't wanna switch to the new form
