How do I set a notice of vacation so buyers will be aware of shipping delay?

Where can I find vacation notice instructions for my listings?

@megpep I recommend you use the Pause Listings options as you have eBay International Shipping which the handling time does not get extended on using Time Away

Buyers will see a notice that you are away and will return at X date. If they have the item in their watch list they will not see an option to purchase.

Here's how to set up Time Away:

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/selling-tools/time-away?id=5137&st=

Whether you choose to allow sales or pause them, delivery dates won't be updated for:

Second Chance Offers
Auto-accepted offers
Pending counter-offers
Seller initiated offers accepted during Time Away
Items with local pickup or in-store pickup as the shipping option
Digital items
Athletic shoes eligible for Authenticity Guarantee
eBay International Shipping transactions

You may want to change the shipping format or the handling times on these items while on time away.
