It's been years since I've had to do this. We have a big snowstorm rolling in on Sunday. I currently have a two day handling time set and have put the store in vaccation mode until Wednesday starting in the next hour just to be safe. I'm still allowing sales and have added a message to be sent explaining the situation. The one thing I forgot was that I sent offers. The big blue box at the top of vaccation mode setting remined me that they are not included in the vaccation mode. Which I think is stupid. That is something I think they should fix.
My question is do I have to edit all 907 listings in bulk? Or can I just uncheck Mon - Wed boxes in days I do business?
Any help would be appreciated.

Here in lies the problem....shipping from where the weather is perfect is not a problem...but shipping to where it is a problem can be a challenge....will buyers in this horrid weather get their packages on time?
And will sellers shipping to these places get many 'items not received' problems which they will have to deal with?
eBay should change shipping timelines in places to and from in such bad weather.
Although sellers in the bad weather are covered...sellers shipping to bad weather areas are not...and will have to deal with the headaches of items not received in a timely manner.
Ebay OFTEN helps sellers in weather affected areas. The OP will be just fine. You are right, Ebay should take care of affected sellers and the do and have for years.
As is very normal for Ebay to do, they made an announcement regarding the protection for sellers impacted by this enormous storm.
I would encourage everyone to Subscribe to the Announcement Board so that you automatically get these announcements and others from Ebay. You won't get spammed, as Ebay only Announces stuff occasionally but usually it is important things you should know about.
You can go into the Announcement board. On the upper right corner Click on the Options button and then select Subscribe.
