How It Works
Four steps to scheduled eBay auto replies without enabling Time Away or showing a Seller is away banner on listings.
The flow
1
Connect your eBay account
Link the seller account you want covered. SnoozeBay works for sellers in any country and uses your local timezone for schedules.
2
Set your schedule
Choose when auto replies should fire: evenings, weekends, holidays, or custom windows. Pro supports multiple schedules.
3
Write your reply
Craft the out of office or out of hours message once. Buyers who message during an active window get that text automatically.
4
Replies go out automatically
When a matching message arrives, SnoozeBay sends your reply in eBay Messages. Time Away stays off, so listings keep looking open for sale.
What stays off
SnoozeBay answers Messages on a schedule. It does not flip eBay Time Away storefront controls.
No Seller is away banner
Listings and the storefront stay free of Time Away's public away notice.
No forced delivery date changes
SnoozeBay does not rewrite estimated delivery dates the way Time Away can.
No pause or hide from this flow
Listings are not paused or hidden because an auto reply schedule is active.
Schedules sellers use
Weeknights
Cover after-work hours when buyers still message.
Weekends
Set expectations while the inbox waits until Monday.
Trips and holidays
Date-style windows without putting the store in away mode.
