Any snowbirds?

Are there any Snowbirds in the eBay comminity who travel for more than 90 days? How do you delist items and relist when you return home without losing the data and photos? I need a solution!

Hi @bysmallchance 

eBay offers no solution for that situation but here's a suggestion.  End all of your listings.  On day 89 Relist them all for 1 minute at 5 to 10 times their price and then End them again ... just make sure that if you jack the prices up the total does not exceed your monthly selling limits.

Thank you. Based on your suggestion, I was thinking of this - 1) end the listings 2) at 89 days relist but have my shop on Time Away so no one sees them 3) end them again. I do take some things with me to sell when we travel, so I did not want to totally shut down my store. Do you know if you can list and delist while store is on "Time Away"?

That's a good question about the Time away feature.  I do not know, I have never used it.  However, you could test that with a short term Time Away experiment for a day or two.  I suspect that Time away only affects listing visibility but not working on your account.

You can list, edit, revise, remove, add to your listings while your store is on time away.

The seller has full access over their listings, even when on time away.

Yes @mr_lincoln the account with active listings looks exactly the same.  Unless you click on an item, you would really never know it was on vacation hold.  Take a vacation and try it!  You deserve some time away!
