Good day Ebay Family. Will Be Out of Town 1/29/26 - 2/92026
Good morning eBay Family:
I appreciate your business and the relationship building:
On Thursday, January 29th through Tuesday, February 9th 2026, I will be out-of-town. However, I will be actively on the site bartering and answering questions. However, all shipments will take place after Tuesday, February 9th, 2026.
Thank you.
Best,

·8 months agoSince previous buyers have your address (return label); probably not a great thing to tell the world.

Or do like I do and use a shipper... my return address is 60 miles away at some warehouse.

"How many users does ebay have?"
eBay has around 134 million active buyers globally as of early 2025/2026, alongside roughly 18-19 million active sellers, with over 2 billion listings available, though the buyer count has slightly declined from previous years.
134,000,000 x 0.001% comes to 1,340.
Your numbers are way off.
This board doesn't have 1,340 actively participating members, Buyers AND Sellers combined. Not even close. 😆

·8 months agoGuess that you may be attempting to gain an advantage over other sellers on ebay
Let us know if this is successful

·8 months agoBecause so few buyers read listings, I've opted to have my listings hidden during my time away occasions. That way, the items cannot be purchased, buyers won't be impatient because they missed the time away dates and I won't get nasty messages and feedbacks complaining of slow shipping even though the listings were clear that I was away.

·8 months agoWe are not your customers. Chances are this may be the first a lot of us even heard from you. We are random buyers and sellers here. As one person said place your account on time away.

·8 months agoYou might put your listings on time away unless you have extended shipping times. So you know, you are not contacting eBay on the community forums, we are other buyers and sellers, eBay will not see this message nor your customers.
Not sure how it is done, have seen it on other listings, a notice that you will be away for x number of days. This may happen when you put your listings on time away.

·8 months agoHello!
I would recommend putting your account on "Time Away". It will allow you to either hide your listings during that time so people dont buy them, or keep them up but will let buyers know you wont ship till after that time. Link is below to set it up:

While appreciated by the community, none of your buyers will see this post here!

·8 months agoebay member for 16 years and you have NO IDEA that you are not talking to any of your buyers??

·8 months agoMan, wouldn’t that be great tho if something like this existed? A post that you can just type into and every single eBay buyer will get a notification of your message. Just imagine the possibilities.
Also aside from the obvious date typo, I noticed the OP denoted the year in two different ways. Once as 26 and the other as 2026. This hurts my brain.

·8 months agoGreat BUT are you going to put your store on "time away?"
Posting here will do nothing for you being gone and shipping after Feb 9th.
