Temporarily suspending an account?
I have an ebay store, but I am going on an extended trip that will last four months. I don't want to completely close my account, because I don't want to start from scratch when I get back. Is there a way to suspend my account for several months?

If you have your store on a month to month, you can close your store without penalty. If you have a 1 year subscription for your store, then if you wanted to close it early, there are penalties to do that. You can see if you have a yearly subscription and when it renews here:

If you can close the store, it will save you a little money over the time you are gone. You can still use Time Away if you close your store.
Here is a schedule of the penalties for closing the store early.

These are the options for an extended time away>

OP1 year agoThank you. Could I just "Time Away" for 30 days, and just keep doing that?

Mentor1 year ago@mabr-771149 You can do that. Copied from my linked post>
You just need to use Time Away, however since it's only good for 30 days you have to set a alarm reminder to restart it on day 29 each month.
A fellow mentor offered other options that are probably better for extended time away. Personally I would use the out of stock option so I could just set it and forget about it.
Let me know if you need help with how to use bulk edit and set bulk edit to set up out of stock.
