? I'm going on vacation

Hello.

I will be placing my booth on vacation this weekend since I am going to Florida for Christmas to be with my family. Yahoo!!!

I do have things on reserve in my booth. I’m thinking the answer to my question will be yes but it has been a while since I had things on reserve AND putting my booth on vacation at the same time.

When I come back to re-open my booth and take my booth off of vacation, will the listings I originally have on reserve go up for sale automatically?

Thanks,

Sharon

The reserved items use to go live when taking booth off vacation. Best to write them down. or take a screen shot of the list of reserved items. Have a wonderful trip. I live in Florida and its cold down here right now, so pack some warm clothes.

Thank you A2Z. You put a smile on my face…the reason being is because I’m originally from Florida. I’ve been in NC for 12 years now. I left Florida on Dec 3rd and when I hit GA I had to put warmer clothes on. Now I’m used to the cold. It is amazing how when a person moves further north that the…

does not seem too cold whereas before when I lived in Florida I would freeze to death.

I lived most my life in Minnesota, now I freeze when it’s in the 60’s. That was like summer in MN

lol. So you know what I mean that. See my post below. I hope in 2019 I’ll be freezing again in Florida.

Meant to say … so you know what I mean then.

I went to Florida for Thanksgiving and got back on Dec 7…when I brought my booth back up..all items went live (previously reserved, those with prices missing, 0 quantity and incomplete items….) First time ever that has happened

Reserved, I expected but the incomplete and zero quantities, and no prices, I did not expect

I did have a list though of stuff I did not want and it was easy to find the items without prices and incomplete items and put them back on reserve..as A2z says best to make a list just in case

[URL removed] Must be time for a whole bunch of Florida visits. Purpleiris will be in Florida Dec 28th. I will miss her by 2 days. Just think, we all almost could have had a party :)

hope you have fun…for many of the days it was just as cold there as it was here on the coast of NC

My items on reserve have always stayed on reserve when I have taken my booth off vacation.

Same with me, and I did it often.

Me, too.

EmpressDepot says: December 18, 2018

It gets more interesting as we move along in the thread lol. Hopefully I will have that kind of luck.

I have never placed my booth on vacation, but i heard others say when they tried to activate their booths when they returned, they were unable to. So I hope someone that knows for sure answers you.

Thank you, Margie.

EmpressDepot says: December 18, 2018

Same to you.

In the past, my Reserves became active upon re-starting. The last time I put my booth in Vac. Mode though, they didn’t. Yay, I hope that continues because I’m in VM now until January, and I forgot to make a note of my Reserved listings.

Have a great visit to Florida!

Fingers crossed that it will work the same for you so that you do not have to add to your work load.

A2z4u2c says: December 18, 2018

When you get back. Let us know what happens when you re-activate your booth.

EmpressDepot says: December 18, 2018

I will. I’ll go ahead and start a new post :)

Thanks everybody.

I guess I shall see when I put my booth back on vacation when I arrive back…but I will definitely log the listings on reserve down somewhere.

It’s going on vacation this weekend in hopes of a few more sales.

Seems a good time as sales have slowed on eBay and Bonanza for me, and I think people are probably more so shopping at brick and mortar stores…either that or I just do not have what they are looking for right now.

I was born and raised in Florida. While I am going on vacation there, my husband and I also plan to look around because we are seriously considering moving back to Florida….just in a different area from where I used to live.

With my husband’s line of work outdoors, winters here in NC bring his kind of work just about to a halt. This is why he goes to Florida in the winters. After this being the 3rd winter in Florida for him, we feel as if we may as well move back to Florida so that we can all be together throughout each year.

Fingers crossed that we can make the move sometime in 2019 or at the beginning of 2020.

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!!
