How to add a message to buyers on all my listings

I am going out of town and need to add a message at the top(preferably) of all my listings so they know if they buy, items will not be shipped off same day like so many of my ads say. Of course I will edit the handling time to reflect this. How can I easily bulk add a note to my listings and just as important, how can I easily bulk remove this note after I get back?

There are vacation settings for your store - you can add the note to all listings at once and also create a response to messages.

You can do that through your Vacation Settings for your Store.

 

However keep in mind that you put your TRS at risk if you are just going to tell the buyers you will be shipping late due to your being out of town.  Each late shipment will cause a ding on your Seller Dashboard.  Too many and your TRS is at risk.  There is no way for you to do this and protect your TRS status unless you extend your handling time on all your listings to match the amount of time you are out of town.  You can change it back when you return.

 

Also keep in mind that buyers often don't pay attention to these notes that you will ship late and your FB could reflect that.

 

IMHO it is better that when you set your Vaca setting that your HIDE your listings, there is a box you can check to do that.  Then while you are on vaca, buyers can't purchase any of your items.  

 

If while you are gone you have internet access, you could remove the Vaca setting when you are preparing to return as long as you will have time to do your shipping immediately upon your return.

 

Have fun on your little time away!

In addition to what others have said- if your handling time is extended to 5 days or more then an orange flag will appear next to the estimated delivery section letting buyers know your shipping time will be longer.
