Solve a problem

It's a good idea to start by becoming familiar with how eBay Stores work. On the eBay home page, click the Stores tab and then click the Open a Store link on the right side of the page. Review the information on the What's an eBay Store? page. When you're ready to open your Store, click the Open a Store now! button.

If you need to take a break from eBay and won't be able to process your sales as normal, you can schedule some time away. From your Time Away settings, you can choose whether you want to Allow item sales or Pause item sales. You can also set an automatic response for buyers who contact you through eBay Messages during your time away. Learn more about placing your Store on vacation.
