Does anyone know if I could set up a auto reply for when people try to contact me through auctions or contact buyer?
I am going on holidays for a week and wont have access to a computer to reply to messages and just wanted a automatic generic reply to go out.

Any ideas or help would be great.

Thanks,

What I usually do when I'm not going to be arround for a period of time is put a short note in my listings mentioning the days that I'll be gone and that I will answer all questions when I return. This is okay only if you list a few items. I wouldn't try to cut & paste a message on hundreds of listings. I would also make sure to schedule my listings to end once I'm back and would not put the Buy it Now option.

You can use the VACATION settings if you have an eBAY store and this will automatically put a message into all of your postings.

Here is the URL link for more information

If you do not have an ebay store the you will have to use alero0 suggestion of putting a message in the top portion of your ad.

Just dont create any listings for a couople of weeks before you leave on vacation. That way everything will have completed and there will be no questions.
