Corona virus

Hi. Although I'm currently exhibiting no symptoms, I'm wondering should I withdraw my current Listings in order to avoid any possible risk of contributing to the spreading of the virus?

That is definitely a decision that can only be made by you taking into account your age and any underlying heath problems and personal circumstances together with advice given by the WHO.

Thanks, but I'm not just thinking of myself; rather all stages of the item's journey & handling through the postal system to delivery...

@professorslotuk

There is virtually no chance of you transmitting the virus by sending an item through the post.......if there was then Royal Mail would have ceased collections & delivery

Even at it's height in China that was not the case there

Hmmm - others handling the items may of course infect it at any stage, but I thank you for your reasonable and responsible reply.

Depending on how long this goes on for, if you use the Seller Hub, one way of avoiding losing your listings, is to end then schedule for 21 days time. Before it gets to that time, you edit and change the scheduled time again.

You can therefore keep this up as long as necessary without losing details and having to start again from scratch.

As auctions you will have to end one at a time, unless using the seller Hub.

Thanks, but not interested in saving myself work. Concerned about the ethics of transmitting unnecessary risk through unnecessary transactions. Any item is bound to pass through several pairs of hands on way to destination.
