Holiday Mode

sardonicus001 — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 02:27:11 GMT

I am going overseas for a couple of weeks in a weeks time. I have tried to arrange my auctions so that they end a few days before I go, however it is possible that I may have miscalculated. Is there any way in which I can a) suspend my auctions, or b) bulk unlist them so that I can relist them when I return? Ending them individually is time consuming.

jump into seller hub and bulk edit - actions - end

You can bulk edit them to a shorter time by ticking all the times on your Active (Selling) list and then click on edit. Then click on edit duration up the top left and change it to what you want, eg. 3 days.

Alternatively, just tick all your listings on your selling list and then click on End down the bottom.

Thanks. I'll give that a try just before I leave.

You need to make allowance for some buyers not paying straight away too. You'll get into trouble with ebay if you cancel auctions that have bids on them so you're best to end everything now and relist them when you're back.

Unless something has changed recently, you can't bulk end auctions. They can only be done individually. No idea why you can bulk end BINs, but not auctions.

You're right tippy, I apologise to the OP for wrong information in my previous post. It won't let you bulk end Auctions.

Hmm, so now the only alternative is maybe bulk edit to have them finish at an earlier time?

Or delete individually.

Unless you have another selling ID you only have 21 listings.

How hard is it to end 21 listings individually?

I do have another selling ID. I have taken the advice given so far and edited my duration times all my listings from 10 or 7 days to 3 days which should mean that I have nothing selling by the time I go.

What we also do ( in case of slow payers ) is bulk edit the handling time to 10 days for a 2 week break.
Such a shame we can't 'pause' listings.

I arranged things so that all my auctions ended a few days ago. I will relist them when I return.
