I began listing many books on eBay and Etsy several weeks ago before school let out for summer. I am completely finished listing on Etsy and am finishing up with new eBay listings.

Due to some upcoming events, I will deactivate all of my listings on around June 20. I doubt that it will be feasible for me to reopen before school starts, so I expect the store hiatus to last from around June 20 to sometime in October.
That is why I really pushed myself to get books listed as school was winding down. The problem is that my Etsy listings have a four-month duration, and I pay a $0.20 fee for each listing. When I pull my listings down, I will lose most of the listing duration. That bothered me a little bit, so I decided that I should run a sale on Etsy in order to encourage some sales before I close. My books on Etsy are now 12% off.
I pay for my eBay store subscription by the year, so it doesn't bother me to be closed a few months. I have unlimited free listings (up to 5 million!), so I don't pay to list. The store subscription covers it. I'm less concerned about moving books off of eBay before I close. However, it wouldn't hurt to get some of them sold, so I have also placed most of my eBay listings at 12% off.
I have not included my newer eBay listings in the sale. When I list new books on eBay, a good number of them sell very quickly, so I don't want to have those on sale at the beginning of their run.
The sale on eBay and Etsy expires on June 18. I expect to deactivate all of my listings by June 20.
Before I close, I want to mention that my job has become all-consuming. I can't say anything about my personal situation. In addition to that, teaching has been completely upended by AI usage, and it's become infinitely harder.
I have long Covid from my infection of December 2024, and it has caused eye inflammation. I also have this unfortunate thing where I keep smelling menthol. When I smell the nonexistent menthol, my eyes also burn like menthol is in them. It's now happening less often, and I hope it quits soon.
I don't believe I've mentioned much in this blog about my health situation in a couple years. I decided to put all health updates in a new blog that I created last year.

It's been a lot. Scroll down a few posts if you're interested in what has been going on.
My listings will be deactivated around June 20, so purchase anything you want before then.
