Solve a problem
It’s a good idea to start by becoming familiar with how eBay Shops work. On the eBay home page, click the Shops tab and then click the 'Open a Shop' link on the right-hand side of the page. When you’re ready to open your Shop, click the Open a Shop now button.
While you’re away, you want to make sure your buyers don't have a negative shopping experience by buying items and unexpectedly waiting a long time to receive them. Before you go on vacation, visit My eBay. In the Account tab, click the 'Manage My Shop' link and then click the 'Shop Holiday Settings' link (located under Related Links on the lower left-hand side of the page). Then, choose how you want to place your Shop on holiday.
