Question Re: going on holiday in Selling on eBay DND

going on holiday

phil0861 — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 17:21:42 GMT

Hi,

I've seen many sellers recently who have had a pop-up on the item page advising prospective purchasers that the seller is away & the item won't be despatched until a certain time. Try as I might I cannot find any information about how to do this.

I'm off on holiday soon & it'd be much easier to put a note for bidders automatically on all my listings pages rather than having to manage them all down & not list items while I'm away.

Is this function available only to business sellers or can we privateers use it too? If we can, is anyone please able to point me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance, Phil.

holiday settings are only available to people who pay a shop subscription,

as you don't, you need to end your listings and relist on your return

I sort of suspected that, nuisance, but thank-you for letting me know so quickly.

As you are making items to sell, you must correctly register as a business.

that's not what your listings say!:-

That's changing however, so I'll be listing more in the coming months again.

Cufflinks, pendants, earrings & brooches are my mainstay, most enamelled, most without the transfers however I have hundreds of those in stock so I intend to make more soon.
All pieces will be sent securely packaged, however in an effort to reduce costs & not create unwanted waste, items aren't shipped as standard in presentation boxes. Should your purchase be as a present, please let me know when you buy it & I'll try to make sure I send it in a suitable box. All items are supplied with either gold or silver (real but not hallmarked) findings, as I've chosen to fit by colour. Should you really wish I can swap gold for silver & vice versa. Pendant chain lengths can be altered if I have the length you want in stock, otherwise I'll have to ship with my nearest available length.

I'd be happy to take requests for one-off items, I keep quite a lot of copper blanks & have most enamel colours, so if you have something special in mind, please ask. If you see a design you'd like, but not in the colour you fancy, please contact me as I have a vast range of colours available & I'd be happy to make a piece(s) to your requirements. I have a huge range not listed on e-bay (time's a killer!), if you are interested in seeing what else I have to offer, please contact me. I can always list individual pieces with very short auction durations.
