The only suggestion I have for you is to use the out of stock feature.
Selling preferences
This will work for your buy it now listings, not auctions.
After you turn on the out of stock feature, you can set the quantity to zero. They won't end, but they will still remain on your list. Then list the other items that are with you, list as you normally would.
The out of stock items will show as quantity zero and the others will be available to sell.
When you get back and have those items with you, you can change to the original quantity.
How to use the out-of-stock option
Your bulk listing will be shown to buyers until you've sold all your items. When the quantity runs out, the listing will end.
However, if you regularly restock that item, you can use our out-of-stock option to hide your listing from search results until you refill the quantity.
Here's how to enable the out-of-stock option:
- Go to Selling preferences.
- Scroll down to Multi-quantity listings and select the toggle beside Listings stay active when you're out of stock.
When you set up the out-of-stock option, the following will happen:
- All of your existing and future bulk listings use the out-of-stock option until you disable it
- When the quantity of the listing becomes 0 (either because all the items were sold, or you adjusted the quantity), your listing stays active but hidden from search results
- The listing will reappear in search results when you increase the quantity of items available
- You can still end your Good 'Til Canceled listing yourself at any time
Using the out-of-stock option on your Good 'Til Canceled listings may help protect you from receiving a transaction defect for running out of stock.
