Extended Pause

[ilovesockmonkeys2008]

Hi,

How can I “Pause” listings beyond 30 days? 

I need to stop selling for approximately 5 months, give or take a couple weeks. 

Can I “re-pause” every 30 days?

Should I end all listings?

What are my options? 

What are the pros vs cons of my options? 

Thanks for you time.

In addition to time away, you could consider using the out of stock option.  It looks like all of your items are unique (a quantity of 1 each) so it would be easy to use.

The out of stock option keeps listings active but hidden for up to 6 months when the available quantity is 0.  So to use for an extended time away, you turn on the option, then edit all of your items to 0 quantity.  When you return, you edit the quantities back to 1, then turn the option off.

Do not turn it on until you are ready to stop selling and change your items to 0.  You don't want an item to sell and not end.

To turn it on, slide the radio button on this page, next to 'listings stay active' -
