I did get my answer from Auctiva support almost immediately WOW! But I thank YOU for your input. That's exactly what I have been told. The saved listings stay until you delete them. So much better than on feebay. I'm importing now all my closed listings from feebay store to Auctiva in anticipation of opening a new store on Auctiva Commerce. All I need is the invite hint... hint...
hoppyeshopper
soon (I hope) to be pointing to my new store
