Is there a way to pause listings immediately except those with bids. I need to stop for a week or two possibly a month. Australia post has completely become unreliable. I have sent items interstate within a day states delivered. items I have bought are marked as received in another state. The ability to keep track of orders has become more than a job. This is creating unnecessary work and you can't talk to a human, Australia posts wait time has blown out, ebay don't want to know you . SO the best measure is to pause. till things turn around.
I know listings can go to drafts but that is limited in number. any advice would be appreciated

Thanks for that. Though I think though I will just end some of the listings over the next few days and delete the relist option on the rest. to much mucking around .

Have just removed the relist check on the listed items removed a couple . It is not only sending but I have 21 outstanding items I have purchased not seeing a posty in 9 days is a worry. Last item marked as delivered today but delivered to a S. A address i am in W.A . Can't be paying commission on post and sales when this has become more work than my job. Thanks for the info.

I can't remember the last time someone has asked me about any items being delivered late. I know there was slow delivery to WA but otherwise things appear normal. Although I don't check tracking once I send an item so will be unaware there is an issue unless I get a message. Really my main focus is listing and packing which I am in total control of the rest I don't spend too much time thinking about.
Now I did purchase an item on thursday from Melbourne going as a letter so will be interesting to see how long it takes to get to Sydney.
I also have 2 day handling on most items unless they have overseas postage in the listing then I have 10.

It has become a blackhole in W.A . Sending is not as bad but still poor , receiving is a nightmare. The delays sending create more work than necessary. this is not my job its a hobby which is pushing my limits.
When buying I have to rely on sellers actually applying tracking when I pay for it , international recently stung me for close to $200 I had got quotes for tracking but were not applied to the final sale, didn't realize. .What i find interesting is that the reply i got from ebay on this is we have nothing to do with freight, well how can you charge a commission on it then.
I have sent an item last week in W.A and in 1 day it is marked received in Vic.
Now the item i purchased and is marked as received today in S.A , ( I am W.A ) I can't get through to ebay as it shuts at 4pm w.a friggin handy. Automated don't help because as far as they are concerned its delivered. absolute s&^% show.
I think a break for a little while is needed. I will buy local when needed if i buy at all. Its a shame. Seemed to be running good for a while now the wheels have fallen off.

If you sell items that can allow you to use Express post and still be profitable that may be a solution till things improve.

its an option but I am waiting 4 weeks for eastern state packages now, I am not buying anything else and adding to the list. as a buyer what i find if you ask for something to be sent express and its not on the listing you wait 2 or 3 days for them to change and add the option to the invoice. Most of the people I am dealing with these are not businesses but collectors/sellers. If they are business they deserve to go broke.
An item I bought recently had insufficient postage charged , instead of a paypal invoice to make up the difference I got a request for me to send the amount and in their words once the transaction is finalized I will post the next day. I had paid within the hour and can't help the laziness of incorrect postage just send the item and sort it after it was $10 actually $9.90
Sorry but having to email it gets tedious to be to and froing online drags out the transaction . The idea is for transactions to be simple straight forward and fast . I even sent an email to the seller regarding my item that has been marked as delivered in S.A, I won't expect an answer till Monday.
