Can we pause our store for 3 months while we are moving?
We are moving to another state. We don't want to close our store, just pause for 3 months. Can we do that?

Mentor11 months ago@ptc-24 I want to clarify @mr_lincoln's advice
You can use Time Away to Pause the listings and reset it every 29th day before it expires. Or use Out Of Stock. When listings are PAUSED on Time Away there is no risk of a sale.
Here are some other options for extended Time Away>

Keep in mind that eBay does permanently delete the items from unsold after 90 days.

Mentor11 months agoHi @ptc-24
Unfortunately, eBay's Time Away feature is only going to cover 30 days: Time Away | eBay
You could use it 3 times in a row but would risk something selling and not be able to ship.
You can End listings and they will move to your Unsold file and remain there for 90 days or until they are Relisted or deleted.

OP11 months agoWe have 4500 items for sale in our store. Can we end all at one time, or do we have to end one at a time?

Mentor11 months agoHi @ptc-24
If memory serves Buy it now items can all be Ended at one time. However, trying them all at once could be slow. Try 100 first, then 500 and then 1000. etc.
Here is the eBay Help page on Ending listings: Ending a listing | eBay
