Vacation Settings Questions

I'm having to put the store on vacation.

 

How long does it take to hide the FP listings?

 

I know the Auctions will continue to run, and I have a hubby here to pack orders if and when they sell, but I'm trying to figure out how long it takes for the FP listings to hide, and whether or not the auto emails start working immediately or if they take a bit to start.

I hate photobucket right now... PS Answers given years ago may or may not be current now, please check with current posters to the boards to see if the information is still relevant.

Re: Vacation Settings Questions

Last year I had something sell on hidden listings - my assumption was that it was on someone's watch list.  Was this then an anomaly?

ETA:  Honest question (asking for myself). 

 

Sometimes I think changes roll out for everyone but we denizens of the submerged 10th.

What I've read on here, has been that it has happened fairly frequently.  I haven't seen many reports of it since COVID took over topic so I don't know if it is still as much of a problem.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Re: Vacation Settings Questions

Ah! OK, that explains it - this probably happened in my account before that change rolled through - this happened last year.  Sometimes I feel like I'm in the caboose when it comes to implementation - I've had to call eBay before. Thanks @nobody*s_perfect!

Re: Vacation Settings Questions

The only things that sold while I was on "vacation" were the auctions... which was fine... the listings went back up the way they were supposed to within 24 hours of un-hiding them.

 

Dunno when they all actually got hid though... kinda forgot to check when I got back up at 3am that morning...

 

Sold another 40 of the silly GPK cards soon as I unhid em too... LOL I think they thought I was taking em away forever or something.

Glad to see you back on the boards!  I hope your surgery went well and you are healing quickly.
