Yes!I've seen that 'seller away till x' at the top! I saw it many months ago on a Chinese listing, but I can't find how to do it here.
I feel your pain. The Good til Cancelled change drives me crazy. One option you have if you absolutely do not want to end the listings is to extend your handling time (30 business days is the highest). If you extend your handling time there is a message on the listing showing the seller has an extended handling time. You could also add a note at the beginning of each listing stating you cannot ship until X date, bolded/underlined/highlighted etc (you can use the bulk edit tool and add the comment to every listing). However, many people don't read descriptions let alone the handling time so you may still end up with an angry, impatient buyer. The safest option of course is to just cancel all the listings and relist when you get back.
I have my handling time set on 5 days because of my work schedule. I had a buyer send me a nasty e-mail on day 3 wanting to know why I didn't send it. I politely emailed her and said due to my work schedule, and that my handling time is listed on my listing... and sent out early day 4. She got it within 1 week of buying (which included a holiday). She still dinged me for stars.u_u; People on ebay have no heart. They expect a quicker turnaround then standard shipping for any big box store.
But overall, I think it's better just to end all the listings. You will be able to relist them with a few clicks later on.
