No it is available for everyone as I have used it.

Just click on the help icon and then type in "time away" and it lets you schedule it.

Thanks. I’ve done it several times, but I have a store. Thought I read somewhere that it wasn’t available without a store. But apparently I was wrong, and not for the first time!

In my opinion eBay shouldn’t let sellers turn on the auto-reject for offers of over, say, 75-80% of the list price. I’ve offered 90% and been auto-rejected multiple times. That’s not “or best offer” in any meaningful way. It is, however, a great way to assure that I’ll move on rather than consider paying the list price.

I think I have offered 5% less and gotten auto-rejected! I think I contacted the selller and said "what the heck"...It was around a $50 item...(Vans shoes).

Ha! That’s ridiculous. Do you remember if you got a response from the seller?
