Can I temporarily 'halt' my listings when I am on holiday?

[thespeedskater]

I am a private seller with 20-30 regular listings.  I will be on holiday for a couple of weeks so if an items sells I won't be able to meet my postage deadlines.  Is there any way I can sort of temporarily suspend my account while I am away or do I have to end all the listings then re-list them when I am back?  I know I could email buyers and ask if they are prepared to wait but I will lose sales if they decide to buy elsewhere.

Always wise to end items if you cannot complete transactions,  unhappy buyers not receiving their items can lead to defects and negative feedbacks.

eBay do have a Time Away feature this hides your items or extends their dispatch times.

Personally, I find it easier just to end all items,  they then go into your unsold listing for 60 days if you are on My eBay Selling or for a maximum of 90 days if on the Seller Hub.

Then,  you can relist them at any time during those periods.
