Time Away Sales

On my business account I have set time away & to pause sales until 23.30hrs today 28th Nov. How come a sale has just been made? As it is I have now extended the time away until 23.30hrs Mon 1st Dec. Will ebay be accepting sales on my behalf over the weekend ???

Re: Time Away Sales

When you schedule Time Away you are given a choice whether or not to accept sales whilst you are away. Sounds like you ticked the allow box.

Nope, very careful with that. Checked my shop from a sandbox PC & no items/stock are showing.

Re: Time Away Sales

Last week I wanted to buy another something from one of my regular sellers but I knew she was on 'time away' from having ordered something earlier; a banner had shown at check-out and I made a note of the stated return date. I couldn't check any products in advance as her main index page had no listings at all (reinstated on her return). From idle curiosity I noticed that a Buy Again button was active against previous purchases from my My Ebay (I believe at Orders and/or Purchase History). You'd think it wouldn't take much programming code for that button to be greyed out during 'time away'. Because it looked active, I didn't dare click it and thus initiate a purchase as obviously I didn't want to cause a problem for my seller e.g. in case of target dates like EDDs.

 

So I wonder if the "Buy Again" button remains active and is a way for a buyer to place an order during a seller's 'time away'?

Re: Time Away Sales

It's not a repeat buyer, they have purchased nothing before. I can only think that maybe they were watching the item, does it allow an item to be purchased from a seller on time away if it is being watched ???

Buyers can buy items if they are on their watched list regardless to Time Away. It’s always been possible.
