Query regarding extending 'Time Away' beyond 30 days while traveling

Hi everyone !!
I am planning a 6-week holiday to Pakistan and need to pause my eBay sales during this period. I am aware that the 'Time Away' feature (with sales paused) only allows a maximum of 30 days at a time.

My plan is to set the first 30 days of 'Time Away' before I leave. Once those 30 days are nearly over, I intend to log in from my laptop while in Pakistan to extend or restart the 'Time Away' for the remaining 2 weeks.

Could you please advise if logging into my account from a different country (Pakistan) will trigger any security flags or account suspicion due to the IP address change? I will be using the same laptop I always use. Also, is it technically possible to restart a 'Time Away' period immediately after one ends? Thank you for your help!

Is it easier for you perhaps to end the items for the whole period you are away, as I'm not sure if logging in from Pakistan might cause some queries / issues.

You are correct that Time Away offers a short term answer, that is, 30 days. For longer periods, simply end all items they will go into your unsold listing, or into the newly name ' Inactive listings! ' 🙄

If you are on My eBay selling they will remain there for 60 days, and if you're on the Seller Hub, they stay there for 90 days ready at any time during those periods for relisting.
