I returned from "vacation" a month ago and expected that I could start selling my active items immediately. Instead, I received a message for each of my >1100 half.com items that "this item is no longer available". I contacted half.com and recieved the usual "thank you for contacting half.com" and "we are aware of the problem and our technical department is working to correct it". A week later I again inquired and received the same brush off message. This has gone on for a month. I can't sell any items as they are "no longer available", yet they are marked as active and my "vacation" lasted for only 4 months, not the year that is listed for an account expiration.
So, does anyone have a solution, as half.com is clearly not interested in fixing the problem or all of its technical people have been on vacation for the past month.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

I get the exact same message for my half.com account, with more than 200 items for sale. I also returned from vacation after three months. An item I listed since my return is the only item that doesn't get that "This item is no longer available" message when I click on it.
It's possible they actually have a glitch that won't let us reactivate items after we return. As you say, with all the work we've put into our accounts, that would NOT be good.
