Contracted Covid.

Any advice on what to do? Should I close my store for 10 days? Should I call eBay on the phone and notify them?   Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Whatever you do, calling eBay to let them know would be the most pointless thing you could possibly do.

Cool thanks

Got it myself a couple months ago. First couple days weren't great, but handleable. After that was basically stuck in the kids room and office for 1-2 weeks. Able to still get stuff out.

If you're doing real bad. Or if you can't do porch pickup or have a friend or family drop the packages off. Go into vacation mode or increase your handling time. Can also just drop them in blue boxes yourself.

Depends on how you feel, are you still able to pack up and call for PO pickup? Or do you want to crawl into bed and stay there for days? It's your decision of how well your up to selling. Please get better soon.

If u have someone who can do your shipping, proceed as normal. Not knowing your symptoms, if you feel u cannot perform your obligations, put your items on vacation. When better, resume.

No need to do any of that, just sanitize your hands and area of packaging and ship or let someone else do the shipping. I don't see truck load of dead bodies or refrigerators out there. Where is Cuomo by the way?

You've received several ideas, but I'd play it safe and put my listings on 'Time Away'. >>Time Away | eBay

Get well soon!

Well, first of all, Covid may just be a bad flu, but the killer is pneumonia. So do everything to prop up your immune system. You should get over the flu within a week. If it "rebounds" before then, you are going into pneumonia and need to get assistance pronto before the pneumonia takes over.

Yes, you should put your Store on "Time away" for 10 days. Maybe longer; remember, you can turn it off at any time.

No, don't bother calling eBay.

You might feel OK now, but you don't know how you'll feel two or five days from now. It's better to not even think about eBay and just concentrate on taking care of yourself.

Put your listings on vacation /Time Away for two weeks.

Be sure to Block any viewing or buying during that time.

Do NOT mention why you are temporarily closed.

If you are still sick/positive in 13 days, extend the Time Away.

Put your listings on time away and just chill for a while.  I've had friends get very, very ill coming down with Covid.

@ten_o_nine- That's enough.  I know people who have died from Covid. 

[wrong66]

He can't help trying to be, what he thinks, is funny. It's endless.

@chapeau-noir

I am sorry to hear that, but I know many more that died from cancer including my dad and my brother and we're not doing anything about that but let's focus on Covid.

I'd put my listings on Time Away.  If you're feeling ok, or restless, get set up for when you're better...take pictures, write descriptions. Put those items in your "Draft" . Go at your own pace.  When you're better, you'll be able to list the new items that you put in Draft.  But please don't over do. Take care of yourself first!
