Holiday breaks or long absence from trading
If you are going on a long break or looking to set trading hours over holiday periods , we recommend you update your “Listing Status,” “Handling Time,” and “Transit time” to avoid any potential impact on your account health.
Change these settings in advance.

Shipping Settings
We recommend that listings with Premium Shipping options be changed to only Economy or Standard shipping to better manage customer expectations during this peak period.
The shipping business day can be confirmed and changed on the "General Settings" tab by selecting "Delivery Settings" from "Settings" in Seller Central.
NB: It is important to note that during the holidays, some delivery companies might not accept requests for collection or delivery. Do check in advance whether your contracted delivery company will receive and deliver the goods on a different schedule than usual.
