Set up vacation mode for your account during holidays
If you’re taking time off over the holiday season, set your account to vacation mode to avoid overlooking orders that could affect your performance.
This setting temporarily removes your seller-fulfilled listings from Amazon product detail pages and search results.
For more information, go to Listing status for vacation, holidays and other absences.

Decided to go on holiday this Christmas, the country we are travelling to has poor internet so only way to really use our phone will be wifi which is ok if we are in an area with free wifi, we are travelling around so that is unlikely.
My concern is this ‘Any buyer-seller message received while on holiday will still require a response in 24 hours.’ This could be a big problem and could set our account in bad standing.
Any thoughts for you guys
Shop Status and Holiday Settings
If you are preparing to go on holiday, or if you would like to temporarily remove your open listings from the Amazon stores, use this feature. Any buyer-seller message received while on holiday will still require a response in 24 hours.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you can schedule holiday settings like you can on eBay?
So today I can setup I am on holiday from 24th Dec to 3rd Jan and then not worry I must remember to set it on 23rd and take them off on the 3rd myself.

Anyone else unable to access the holiday setting? when I go to select ‘Going on Holidays?’, it asks me to select which marketplace - go to the UK one and it says I am not authorised to access the page and to contact the administrator?
I am the administrator/main account user and I tried to add myself more setting options but nothing worked. We always used holiday settings for the past 8 years, this year we had to manually stop all listings to prevent issues over the week we were closed.
