Holiday mode or extended handling time?

Hi all

I'll be away for 5 days soon and am wondering whether to set to holiday mode or just extend my handling time. I find with holiday mode when I come back, it seems to takes ages for Amazon to push the items back into the search engine and thus get orders.

Just wondering what others would do?

PS I always check the app daily for buyer messages when I am away

Thanks

Personally I would set holiday mode - you never know if you could be delayed or something happens that you don't get home when you thought you would.

Extended handling times could possibly result in less sales anyway as people maybe don't want to wait so long to receive their order.

Just my opinion though !

There is an issue with using holiday mode as when you reopen listings all the idiotic bots " look " at them and if you are lucky they allow them to stay listed - and if you are not, they will be closed, mostly for alleged pricing errors - I no longer use holiday mode as last time I did over 2000 listings were closed when I reopened the shop and mostly it was products no one else had in stock.

Handling times sounds a much safer way of doing it - I have 4 - 7 days on most of my items now, and I still manage to sell - even though buyers think they have to wait.

Also it will avoid the loss of visibility issue you have mentioned.

As you are going to be able to monitor your shop you should be able to deal with any issues if you do get home later than expected anyway.

Just my opinion (sorry for thinking the exact opposite of you, Jill)
