Vacattion is - Account Settings - on left hand side -account status Active or inactive (also says Going on Holiday?) change to in-active.

I’m about to go on holiday and for the first time in 13 years, won’t have staff to cover it. Instead of going on holiday mode I’m going to increase handling time by a few days.
This means that you should still get some sales (although I imagine that they will drop to some degree), and it’ll help maintain your search ranking (again, it’ll probably drop a little)
Downside of course is the horrendous amount of work when you get home…

Dear selers,
thank you for this question.
If you are unable to fulfill orders for any reason (for example, family emergency, inclement weather, going on holiday or vacation, and so on), you can change your Listings Status to Inactive.
This will remove all of your listings from Amazon product detail pages and search results within one hour.
If you have any Fulfillment by Amazon listings, they will remain active on Amazon.
You can change your Listings Status for all of your listings, or just for specific marketplaces.
To change the status of your open listings for your self-fulfilled items in all marketplaces, use the All Listings option and check the box next to Active or Inactive as desired.
Please remember that you must process return requests and respond to messages from customers within 24 hours, even if your listings are set to Inactive.
You can update your settings to receive return request emails with links to Authorise, Close or Reply, and you can have Amazon automatically authorise return requests.
Before changing the status of your listings, check for any pending orders, since these will not automatically be cancelled.
You may want to set your listings status to Inactive prior to the date you will be away, since pending orders may take time to resolve.
For more information about this option, please see the following help page:

Thank you!
