    I don't think it had any impact as i think my holiday settings kicked in at 8am and the item sold at around 815. I was intending to do my last post office run at 10am but had to wait until 11:15 although I could have just clicked on the 'get label' link anyway.

    In your earlier post you say you opted for '

    Account set to 'allow sales for 15 days',

    Which allows sales , you haven't switched off your sales , just extended the despatch time. If you want to stop sales you need to untick the ;allow sales' box.

    Yes however I'd set a cutoff time of 8am this morning. I had other items to post and was intending to post at 10am. I believe this item was actually bought after 8am so I could have left it until I got back, but what if the buyer bought it at 7:59 and their shopping time pushed the transaction into my holiday? Interestingly I had two other sd items to post and neither of them had shopping time.
