Even with high gas prices people are still planning on taking a little time for themselves this summer. If you're an Amazon seller, you may not know you can give your listings a vacation too.
Amazon.com is very strict about sellers shipping within two business days of a sale. That will likely become a problem if you have sales while you're away this summer. Vacation settings can help ease your mind as you relax.
How to Set Your Amazon Vacation Settings
To set your Listing Status to "On Vacation," follow these steps in your Seller Account:
1. Click "Store Settings" in the Settings section.
2. In the Vacation Settings section, click the Edit button.
3. Click Start your Vacation.
NOTE: Allow 36 hours for the changes to take place. It's best to set your vacation settings 48 - 72 hours before you leave to be sure there are no outstanding orders. (It never fails that someone will order something as you're trying to get out the door. Plan ahead.)
To set your Listing Status to "Active," follow these steps in your Seller Account:
1. Click "Store Settings" in the Settings section.
2. In the Vacation Settings section, click the Edit button.
3. Click End your Vacation.
Expect the same delay of up to 36 hours to see all of your inventory again. If you are an Amazon Pro-Merchant, you will still be charged for your monthly subscription, even if you have your listings on vacation.
That's it. Now enjoy your hard-earned vacation.
