Is there a way to bulk end listings

[katlover1952]

I had decided earlier to put my store on vacation until this postal mess is sorted out. However last time the CUPW did this & I shut my store it took a couple of months to get back to where sales had been before so I have decided to remain open. I sell mostly smaller priced items so usually do not used tracked mail service. Having said that for the good of my sanity I want to ship only tracked items until mail service resumes to normal. So I want to end all my items that I am selling with untracked mail. I could just change everything to tracked but I with the cost of tracked does not make much sense. Is there any way to bulk end listings or do they have to be done one at a time. Have rarely done this & when I did it was one at a time but thought perhaps there was a way to do it in bulk.

Sorry, can’t answer your question on bulk listing but what do you think about adding tracked shipping to all untracked items and then changing back to cheaper rates when strike ends? Like you, I sell many lower cost items that I ship without tracking and I am reluctant to put my stores on vacation as it seems to take about 4 weeks to get back to normal. Anyway, that is what I have been thinking about doing. Worried that it might cause me to lose customers though.

Comments?

If everything you sell is the same size shape and weight, this is easily done.

If it isn’t... Well.... add a big handling fee to cover cost of tracking?

If your items are fixed price you select them one by one (or select as many of them as you can on one page, and un-select the ones that you wish to keep live) end select 'End' from the Actions drop down menu. EBay will not allow you to bulk end auction format listings however. Hope that this helps!

I did wonder about that as well but thought that I likely would not sell the lower oriced items with such expensive shipping. Also thought it would be more work to change back after. By doing it this way figured I could still keep the store open & well I know sales will definitely fall off maybe would not take as long for sales to rebound once I relisted everything. Hopefully.
