How Does Amazon Seller Central Vacation Mode Work?
Vacation mode in Amazon Seller Central is a feature that allows sellers to temporarily deactivate their product listings, removing them from Amazon search results. This is helpful for sellers who are going on vacation and will not be able to fulfill orders. When a seller activates vacation mode, any pending orders will be canceled and new orders will not be accepted. Vacation mode is a good way to avoid negative feedback and account penalties for late or non-fulfillment of orders.
To activate vacation mode, sellers must go to the "Account Info" section of Seller Central and click on the "Going on vacation?" link. Sellers will then be able to select the marketplaces where they want to deactivate their listings. Once vacation mode is activated, sellers will receive a notification email.
Vacation mode can be a helpful tool for sellers who need to take time off from their business. However, it is important to note that vacation mode does not affect Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) listings. FBA listings will continue to be available for purchase while the seller is on vacation.
Here are the steps on how to activate vacation mode on Amazon Seller Central:
Log in to your Seller Central account.
Click on the "Account Info" tab.
Under "Listing Status," click on the "Going on vacation?" link.
Select the marketplaces where you want to deactivate your listings.
Click on the "Save" button.
Once you have activated vacation mode, your listings will be deactivated and will no longer be visible in Amazon search results. Any pending orders will be canceled and new orders will not be accepted.
To deactivate vacation mode, simply follow the same steps and select the "Active" option for the marketplaces where you want to reactivate your listings.
Here are some things to keep in mind when using vacation mode:
Vacation mode does not affect FBA listings.
Vacation mode can only be used for a maximum of 90 days.
If you have any pending orders when you activate vacation mode, they will be canceled.
If you have any new orders when you activate vacation mode, they will not be accepted.
You will not be able to receive payments while your listings are in vacation mode.
Vacation mode is a helpful tool for sellers who need to take time off from their business. However, it is important to understand the limitations of vacation mode before using it. We hope this blog post was beneficial!
