Time away settings

Options
In case this has bypassed some sellers- it is now possible for all sellers, with or without a shop to temporarily stop their listings from being sold. Search for 'time away settings', it is in different places for different ebay views, and you can close your sales, have an automatic message displayed and set a time to restart them again. I'm just putting all my accounts on shut down until Christmas Eve now.

Interestingly they appear to have listened to complaints about the previous system as now it automatically hides your listings, on the old system you had to tick an extra box to actually stop sales as well.

    Yep, I have a few BIN listings on a private account and have used time away settings on them as well. It’s very useful .

    Thank you for the info.  Too late for me as I have ended my listings individually!   Good to know for next time.  Wonder why the time away setting does not show anywhere on my main page?

    Depends on your dashboard view. I have three main accounts I use and each shows a different view of seller dashboard. On 2 of them my time away is on my main dashboard near the bottom with all the account settings. On the last it is on the account tab at the top of the page.

    Oh yes!  It is there right at the very bottom under Quick links.  I have never scrolled down that far!   Thank you.  It will be useful next time.
