Holiday Settings On Ebay App?

Can anyone tell me where to find these please?  I've had a good look around, but can't find them.  Googling brings up instructions that seem to only relate to viewing the site in a browser, on a PC for instance.

I'm using an Android phone if that makes any difference.

    Thanks so much.  I could have sworn that I'd looked everywhere!

    I was thinking of makng it start a couple of days before I actually go away so that I don't end up having to send something at the last minute.  Does this sound a sensible strategy?

    If you set a time away schedule what actually happens to your listings during that time?

    There are 2 options. If you tick to also hide your listings it means no one can pay or buy your BIN items. Auctions and items listed after the settings went on are unaffected. Some people don’t tick the extra bit and so the away message message is displayed and eBay supposedly extend your dispatch time to allow you time to send when you get back. 

    I tend to put my full holiday settings on the day before I go away, but a day or two before I get home I allow sales and make sure I post immediately I get home.

    I came back from holiday on a monday and had some listings on simple delivery which said post by Wednesday. When I clicked to download a label it then said post by the previous Thursday, so simple delivery didn't seem to be integrated into the time away settings....
