When you are scheduling auctions for next Sunday night....time SHOULD change right?

Hi,

Yes, time gets set back one hour next Sunday. eBay adjusts the closing time to reflect the change.

I don't know if Halloween has much effect on auctions but since I'm going to be gone from Thursday until Sunday anyway I'm not launching any new ones tonight. There are a few that will automatically relist if they don't sell, plus the stuff in my store.

I have some pretty nice things ready to go. Will wait until I'm back to launch. So they'll close the next Sunday night.

Thanks to the wonderful people here, I know now how to put a "vacation notice" in my listings. I'll do a quick edit of the auctions that relist and change the header in my store.

Edited to add: I'll also change the promotional text in my Vendio Gallery.

Lucy

I wish we could REALLY go on vacation in the ebay store, this is going to present itself to be a problem. Last summer I was gone for a long break, but I just started, and only had a few sales. I'm a bit concerned as I am going to be gone for 15 days in December. I will update the header, but not everyone looks at that unfortunately! Oh well, I can see trouble coming.

Hi Vet,

If I might make a suggestion...

Add some custom text. It won't help auctions already up and running but it will show in any you haven't already launched.

Editing the header will help some on the existing listings.

Lucy
