How can I extend time away to more than 30 days

No way that I know of. The workaround is to re-up it before the 30 days ends. You get loads of re-ups. Good luck.

Yes, @mtgraves7984 is correct.  The Time Away setting is good for up to 30 days.

How long are you needing to be away?  You might consider making sure your Site Preferences for Inventory is set to allow for OOS [out of stock] listings to stay active.  You will see them but no one else will. 

Once that setting is set, edit all your listings to a zero quantity.  They will keep eating your free listings allotment once a month when they renew [again buyers can't see the listing] and you have them available for up to 6 months.  When you need to reactive them, just enter a quantity on all the listings you want to reactivate.

On your cell phone use your calendar and post a reminder to renew your Time Away every 30 day period you are away - Hint: Those months the end on the 28, 29 and 31 maybe tricky (lol).

Thanks.  someone suggested to use out of stock and change back when I return.

I think my answer was to go to someone else.  But this sounds like a good suggestion and I will do that.  Many thannks for your help.

Could be away 45 days.  Good suggestion. Thank you!
