# /post-order/v2/return/draft* stops working

Calls to /post-order/v2/return/draft* on eBay API stopped working on January 20, 2026.

## What to use instead

eBay names no replacement for the return draft calls, as buyers start returns directly on eBay. Because eBay removed the calls without an alternative, deciding how to handle previous functionality requires a product decision.

eBay removed the call without a replacement: what the code did with it is a product decision.
