    < How do I let buyers know I am unavailable to ship until a certain date >    

     

    Even if your buyers are okay with it, if you don't ship within certain parameter expected by eBay, your account could suffer.  The better thing to do would be to put your listings on "hold" until you are available again.  

     

    I think it might have used to be called vacation mode, but nowadays they call it Time Away.  You can find all the information that you need at this Help page:  https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/selling-tools/time-away?id=5137
