Your items detail will show you as "Away" from the time you set in the "Time Away" page

I believe you have the option of accepting orders or not somewhere in there (I am not positive if it has changed)

I used to also set my handling time for the amount of time I was gone because it ised to be that international sales would not reflect the time away for shipping metrics

Are you allowing customer to "make purchases" while you are away?     If so, you need to change "handling time" on all your items (otherwise you will get penalty to delayed shipping).

 

Easier to just to put "time away" (and don't allow purchases).   Customer's rarely "read anything" and then will be **bleep** when they realized it won't be shipped because you are "on vacation".

Time Away doesn't always go into effect immediately. According to the page linked below, "If you chose Pause item sales, it will take a few hours for your listings to be hidden".  Your listings aren't showing it (yet), so either it just needs more time, or you didn't save it correctly.
