Well this does not work, and it brings up another problem that I've already mentioned to Debbie M: I have been a merchant since 2002, but because my items all expired while I was off doing non-3d things, I evidentally lost my merchant status. If I try to load the accounting page, I get a message saying I'm not a valid merchant until I upload a product. This is a serious problem because I can't see any of my past accounting info, contact buyers of my previous products, access the merchant forums/maillist, etc... to me this seems very, very wrong! The policy should be: once a merchant, always a merchant, regardless of whether or not you have products currently in your store.
