How to take 21 days of time away??

Ok. I'm aware that you can take 15 days away or 30 days which takes items off. Totally understand that part.  I have to take about 21 days off for work 18 hours from home. I cannot afford to completely close down my sales for the whole 21 days. My question.  Is there a way to do both? I doubt I can take 15 days and then go back on 2 days then take another 15. Will they let you close for 7 days then come back on and take 15 days off? I'm not in a position to lose either of my incomes. Thought I'd ask members as I really have a tough time communicating with the Ebay workers. Thank you

How to take 21 days of time away??

I did 2 weeks time away and kept my store open. Buyers understood it. I emailed all 75+ buyers who made purchases and just reminded them I will be away in October last year I am out of the country for a vacation. A lot of buyers emailed me "have a great time!" No complaints or bad feedback. 

However, I was busy for 2 days shipping everything out when I returned from a cruise overseas.

I also got more sales the day I returned.

It was nice....got extra cash for my vacation while away.

You can customize time away mode anywhere from 1 day to 30 days. You can end and restart as needed. Not sure why you think it's limited to 15 days or 30 days @klocks*vintage .

 

Here's the page about Time Away settings:

If you allow sales while away, make sure you read all the exclusions carefully.

 

Plan to have any auctions or offers end a week before you leave. eBay's working on an auto-pay offer feature, but it's still in testing phase, not yet rolled out site wide.

 

There's an option to set up an out of office auto-response within the Time Away settings.

 

Keep in mind you're still responsible for handling any return requests, claims or payment disputes that are filed while you're away. If you won't have internet access to check in every day or two, I suggest setting up automated return rules. You can turn off the automation after you return.

Thank you for the reply. I've done 15 days time away a few times. This time I need 21 days. Trying to figure out of if I can do 7 day on hold and 15 days time away or if there's another way.
