Bulk Editing Handling Time

[dentalsales4u]

I am planning on taking a few days vacation next week.

I tried to bulk edit my listing to extend my handling time, but handling time no longer in the bulk edit list.

Am I missing something?

Just use Time Away with your listings still visible and can be purchased. eBay will automatically extend your handling time to match the time you are away.

No need to change the handling time and then change it again when you return. In addition you get the banner that alert buyers to the delay in shipping.

Sorry, but I'm not using shipping policy.

I have two selling accounts, it's there under my other account in bulk edit, but not this one.

I've used it plenty of times in the past, but it's just not there now.

I didn't want to use time away since I will be back in the office on Tuesday.

I will dink with it then to see if I can figure out what's going on.

The screenshot you posted of the bulk edit screen shows you are using biz policies.

Pet peeve of mine that handling time is not a separate policy for easy updating, instead it's integrated into each shipping policy and to make bulk adjustments you have to update every single policy to change handling time.

So your options are:

• Use Time Away
• Manually edit each of your active shipping policies to adjust handling time, then change them back again upon your return.
• Opt out of biz policies (link) - it's a tiny link on the upper right

No, there is nothing you are missing. The removal of handling time from the bulk edit list shows that the platform or system you are using may have undergone a modification or update. It is advised to look for any recent revisions or get help from customer service if you need to bulk edit the handling time for your listing.

eBay has this nasty habit of opting sellers in to features without asking or notifying them first. It appears that they have opted you in to business policies without your permission. Go to your account settings page. Then, under "Selling" click on "business policies" to go to the business policies manager page. Then, click on the "opt out" link near the upper right-hand side of the page. Once you have opted out, you should be able to bulk edit handling time again.

If you use the Time Away function, it will auto adjust your handling time for you.

If you're using business policies, its an easy change.  Simply edit each policy and change the handling time.  Its done.

I just tested two items with the bulk edit drop down. The 'handling time' is there. 

I'm using a desktop and on eBay.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This worked for me.
