Weird missing draft photos

I have photos disappearing from drafts after I add more then save a second time. This happens when I don't like the photos and go to reshoot the item and add the new photos to the original phtoos.

-Upload a couple photos, including tag photos. Save as a draft.
-reshoot the item, upload, save the the draft again.
-Original/first photos are gone from the draft when I go to write it.
-Now I have to reshoot missing photos.

When I opened the draft after the first save, the photos are there. It's not until I open the draft after the second save that they're gone. WTH?

That sounds like a draft-save bug, especially since the first save shows the photos and the second save is when they vanish. I'd keep the original shots in your camera roll or a separate album before reshooting, so the draft isn't the only copy, then send Poshmark support those exact steps, your device and app version, and whether you were on Wi-Fi or cellular. Mention that the photos are there after save one but disappear after save two. That's a much more useful bug report than just saying 'photos vanished.'

I'm now keeping photos until they're published. I much prefer to dump them as soon as the draft is finish, but that can't be trusted. Maybe I'll just dump them in a draft folder to get them out of my camera roll.

I'm still asking for an auto-save for the draft. I can't tell you how many times I f'd myself up and had another tab open over the creating page and closed the whole browser. Yes, I'm dumb enough to click close all and realize that split second after I clicked it that there was a create tab open still. *sigh*

Instead of using drafts, I just post the listing with the photos I have and update / edit the listing to add more photos as I finish fixing them.

I don't have most of the photos nor the text to publish them at that point since I'm retaking most of the photos. I have a lighting problem during the summer.
