How does vacation mode work?

Vacation mode lets you pause your seller activity when you are not available to ship, without deleting your listings.

How to activate it?

  • from your profile, open the settings page and tap the “Vacation mode” button, then set a start date and an end date,
  • the period can last up to 365 days,
  • you can change the dates or deactivate the mode at any time.

What happens during your vacation

  • your listings remain visible, but purchasing is blocked,
  • your profile and your listings show that you are on vacation, with your dates,
  • a buyer who tries to purchase is informed that your items are temporarily unavailable.

When you come back

  • vacation mode is deactivated automatically on the end date,
  • your items become purchasable again immediately,
  • members who added one of your items to their favorites receive an “available again” notification — a nice boost to restart your sales.

On the buyer side

If you are interested in an item but the seller is on vacation, add it to your favorites: you will be notified as soon as it becomes available again.
