For sellers in its potential path (FL, GA & SC listed so far) check to see if your post offices are closed. I just discovered mine are so immediately put the store on vacation. Last time they didn't shut down so quickly (even with the evacuation ordered), but I had a feeling this time would be different.
When you put your store on vaca, remember to HIDE your listings, that is an option when you set up your vaca hold. If you don't do that, some may still purchase your stuff and you gained nothing by having your store on vaca and you risk late shipments unless you extend your handling time on all your listings. But then you don't know how long you will be unavailable to ship or if any of the inventory may get damaged by the storm.
BE SAFE!! You and those you love are the most important. Please don't wait until the last minute to get out of the way. You may find it harder than you think to get away from the storm.
