Freezing Selling Account

[sindovin]

What is the best way to freeze a selling account. I am going on vacation and won't be able to ship selling items. One way is to remove all selling posts and then relist upon return. Is there a better way? Thanks for any help.

If you do not have a store and it appears you do not, then that is really the only option.  Do you know how to end all your listings?

Try not using the words Freezing Selling Account.  Those words together are a bit scary to active sellers.

Good Luck Selling!

To end a listing early and cancel all bids or sell to the high bidder:

1. Go to My eBay > Selling and find the item.

2. From the More actions drop-down menu, select End My Listing Early.

3. If there are bids on your item, choose how you want to end your listing.

   • If there are 12 or more hours before the end of the listing, select Cancel bids and end listing early or Sell item to high bidder.

   • If there are fewer than 12 hours before the end of the listing, your only option is Sell item to high bidder.

     Note: If your item has no bids, you can skip this step

4. Select the reason you're ending your listing early and click End My Listing.

@sindovin, if you end the listings, you should be able to select "Relist" on them when you return, which will save you the hassle and time involved in having to create them from scratch again. However, I would suggest you save the content of each one in a Word document, and make sure you have all the images for each saved as well.

That's what you have to do.

Do also be dilligent while on vacation to monitor for any issues which might arise.  Usually you get three days, but we've seen them go off quicker than that and cause a huge mess.

That is very important. I was fortunate enough to think ahead and have someone watch my account when I was in the hospital and something minor did come up. It could have been ugly if their emails had gone unanswered for two weeks.

It is a strange thing.

If you do something eBay doesn't like such as list a forbidden item or say something on a chat board that is forbidden, they can easily suspend you from listing or posting for days, weeks or even a month.

But, that is something that they don't allow a employees (seller) to do.  Buyers do it all the time when they go away.

I have often wondered why eBay would not provide it's employees (sellers) a vacation opportunity.

They do... if you have a store.

I can't believe you've said that, but you have.

Besides, peeps here are already gagged by the mods, don't need posters doing it too.

Not all of us are as fortelling as you are, but some of us at times are better spellers, and understand when we see or say a lighten inside joke.

Good Luck Selling!
