Should i cancel all my auctions ?Or is there a way , should i have to make the trip,to note on each auction that i will be away and shipping will be delayed for said amount of time ?

I have like 38 items up,would be annoyed if i have to remove them all.Please tell me theres an easy way to put up a note on each item,should i have to go,that there will be a delay,that also doesnt get me downgraded on my seller rating should an iem sell and i am not able to make the shipping timer ?

It does not look like you have a store.

 

Being gone for 2 weeks, even a very long handling time may not be enough.

 

My opinion end all fixed listings and auctions if they have over 12 hours to go.  Make sure you cancel all buyers as well.

You could sign up for a starter store for like $8 and put your listings on vacation

Are they small items you could take with you and mail from your destination? Or enlist a family member to take care of shipping while you’re away?

You can extend the handling time and protect your seller status, but there is a signficant risk that you'd encounter an impatient buyer who forgot about he delayed shipping or who never noticed it in the first place. So it's much better to end the listings, then relist when you return.  You can do this in bulk with just a few clicks in My eBay.

With just 38 listings, the process of signing up for a Store subscription wold take much more time and effort than it's worth, as well as not saving any money.
