Going on Holiday, what do I do with my listed items?

carrot_cake

Hi all


I am a private seller just selling the things no longer needed at home. I have quite a few of the kid's toys listed on ebay (all on BIN or Best Offer format) and they automatically relist if unsold. I am going away on Monday for a few days and do not know how to "flag up" that I will be away. Can anyone advise me how to do this or should I just end the listings?
TIA

Just end the lot, it is much easier that way. Even if you do add a note to your listing your metrics will still be dependent on the dispatch time you have listed, and a buyer can open an INR even if they know you are away.

If you don't have a shop, turn the automation off & end them all

Listings automation schedule

Suspend my items from being automatically listed and relisted.
Starting: at eBay UK Time (BST).
Ending: at eBay UK Time (BST).

Copy my automation rules during relist or sell similar.
Note: to resume your listing automation, simply deselect your suspension preferences.

Is there a risk of paying FVFs on ending early?
Or is that just for auctions?

Ive ended a few things recently both BIN & auctions & haven't paid FVF's but none have had a bid, I think I read somewhere that FVF's would be charged if you end a listing with a bid in place.

Just found it

If you end an auction early and buyers have already placed bids, you may be charged a fee. This fee is the same as a final value fee, based on the item price when you ended the auction. You won't pay a fee if you cancel your auction within the first 24 hours of listing your item, or if we have to end your auction.

Although it seems that ebay don't know if they will charge you, maybe it depends on the reason you give. Or the system doesn't like you.
