We are finally retiring in June and will be RV traveling for 4 months or so before coming back home for the winter. Game plan was to do the 30-day time away and keep renewing that when needed and open as usual when we get back. I saw a few posts here about this, plus about changing things to out-of-stock. I don't want to lose my 9000+ listings. We also sell stuff that we find on our travels on FB Marketplace or kijiji (local pickup only). Been doing that while on vacation for the last few years. I'd like to open the eBay store while we are away to sell a few things, probably just enough to make the monthly store fee. Larger potential market on eBay, plus with payments and postage do-able online it's a lot easier to sell from anywhere. So, my thoughts are to use the time away as above, but before leaving bulk-edit the buy-it-now price on my present listings to some ridiculous amount, say $200? so no-one will buy them when we open the store to sell the occasional other item. Or do the high-price bit and just keep the store open. Any thoughts or ideas?
