Question
How do you close your eBay store? I have looked everywhere and cannot find out how to do that? I hope each item doesn't have to be ended one by one!!!! Why is this so tricky to do?
Answer
I believe you need to go into MYEBAY, and close it through there.
They hide it very well.
You should be able just to close it, and any items just listed in the store, will close in mass volume when you shut down the store itself.
Answer
This may work for you.
Note, this is for placing your store on vacation, invisible, while you realign it. Closing it can't be too far away from this area in your My Ebay page.
Hello,
Thank you for writing to us. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you
with your questions.
The vacation hold would really be the only way you could prevent
potential buyers from viewing your items while you realign your store.
This way you would not have to end your listings while you are making
the necessary changes.
You have three different options when you use Stores Vacation Hold.
First, you can choose to hide Store Inventory Format listings from new
buyers. This means your listings will temporarily be removed from search
and browse pages. Potential buyers with items in their Watch lists will
be notified in My eBay that you are away and that the item is
temporarily unavailable.
Second, you can choose to simply place a vacation message on any of your
available listings (including auction, regular Fixed Price and Store
Inventory Format listings). This message appears at the top of the
"Description" section in item pages and informs potential buyers that
you are away and expecting to return on a specified date. The message
also states that, while the item is still available for purchase, buyers
should expect slower than usual service.
Third, you can choose to provide either a default message or a
completely custom vacation message on all of your Store pages.
You can use all three of the options at the same time or any combination
of the three.
To turn your "Vacation hold" on or off, please follow the steps below:
1. Click on the "My eBay" link located at the top of most eBay pages.
You may be asked to sign in.
2. Next, click on the "Manage Your Store" link located on the left-hand
side of the page, under the "My Subscriptions" heading.
3. Then, click the "Store Vacation Settings" link located in the
"Related Links" box on the left-hand side of the page.
You will be able to change your vacation setting on this page. Once you
choose whether you would like to turn your vacation setting on or off,
make sure to click the "Save Settings" button.
If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reply to this
email and let us know.
Regards,
eBay Stores Customer Support

Yup, that's where I finally located it last week when I closed my eBay store for good. It seems eBay and I are on a path towards a trial separation.

Before long, I think the ebay/ebay seller divorce rate will be as high as the "marriage" divorce rate in the U.S.????

Thank you everyone, yes, it was that little 'subscriptions' thing I was looking for. And I couldn't find it for the life of me yesterday! I closed my store temporarily to do some major redesigning and rehauling. This is as good a time as any with the new year and the promotion going on now.
