Delete one or more drafts

Before deleting a draft#

Deletion removes a draft from your preparation work in Qublo. The confirmation warns that a successful deletion cannot be undone. Before proceeding, make sure you have not opened a product merely because a filter or error makes it difficult to manage.

Check the store, ASIN, title and variant. If the problem is information that needs correcting, you can use the editor instead of deleting everything. If publishing has started, clarify its outcome first: deleting a draft is not a command for ending an eBay listing.

This guide covers Drafts. For already published products, check inventory and the listing's own actions.

Delete a single draft#

1. Open Drafts and select the correct store.
2. Find the product by title or identifier and reread its row.
3. Click the draft's bin icon.
4. In the Delete draft window, read the confirmation and check that you want to remove that product.
5. Click Delete draft to confirm, or close the window before confirming.

The command starts the request. Do not interpret the window closing or the start notice alone as proof that deletion has succeeded. Wait for the list to update and read any reason left on the row.

Delete a group of drafts#

1. Narrow the view using store, search and filters.
2. Tick the rows to delete or use Select All for all filtered results, including other pages.
3. Check the selected count and click Delete Drafts.
4. Read the confirmation window. To proceed, click Delete selection.

A submission can contain at most 30,000 drafts. If the group exceeds the limit, narrow it before continuing. The selection is fixed at the start: a draft arriving from a later import does not automatically join the already accepted request.

The service attempts to delete each draft. Some may succeed while others remain visible with the reason.

Read the result and row alerts#

At completion, Qublo may show how many drafts were deleted or already absent and how many were not deleted. For remaining rows, open the error or warning indicator: the number beside the icon helps identify multiple messages.

The details show the product and specific reasons. Use any correction link only after reading where it leads. Closing the details does not resolve the reason.

If data does not update or a response is uncertain, check the list and activity again before creating a new request. Acknowledgement of receipt is not the same as the final result for every item.

If Qublo keeps a draft#

• Publication awaiting completion: the Items not deleted window identifies items for which submission to eBay had already started. Check that job before retrying.
• Listing already published: Qublo may keep the draft because an eBay listing exists. Check the product in Products and do not use deletion to end the sale.
• eBay verification unavailable: follow the message and retry later, without treating unavailable verification as proof that the product was not published.
• Generic error: keep the message and check whether it concerns every row or one item.

Example: some drafts remain#

You selected ten drafts to remove. Eight are deleted and two remain because the previous publishing attempt still has no confirmed outcome. Do not resubmit all ten as if the first job had never existed: focus your checks on the two remaining drafts.

1. Open the status of the previous publication.
2. Check both products' outcomes and whether they are present on eBay.
3. Read the reason on the rows remaining in Drafts.
4. Retry only when the status is clear and the action is available.

The numbers are illustrative. The correct procedure depends on the reason actually shown, not whether the drafts are recent or old.

After deletion or when asking for help#

Remove search and filters if you want to check that a draft is not simply hidden from the view. Also check the selected store. If the product is published, look for its listing in inventory before concluding that it was deleted from eBay.

For a support request, specify the store, ASIN or draft reference, whether you used the single bin or a selection, and the reason's text. Buyer information is not needed to clarify a draft error.

For a publishing outcome still unresolved, follow Troubleshoot publishing. Deletion does not replace verification of a previous submission.
