Any Half sellers out there? Did you get a notice like mine today, saying they're updating their book catalog and have deleted one or more of my listings? This is incredible, people. They don't tell us WHICH books they've deleted--or why--and I guess they want us to go through our whole inventory, search for it, and see if it's still listed.
I've started a thread on the Booksellers' Forum in Ebay, and people are pretty irate. Some of them have had up to 51 books deleted, with no clue which ones they are. Sometimes I think there are Half.com people who are actively trying to run Half into the ground. I've suggested they fire whoever's giving them advice these days.

I got the same message, and 10 of my books (I don't know which ones either) just disappeared! I used to care about half, but these days I guess I don't really care too much. I've moved much of my business away from half, and am pretty happy with that. I probably would still be with them today as much as I was a year ago if they had not started to screw around with it. My overall business is easily more than double what it was a year ago, but my half.com business is about 5% of what it was a year ago. If half disappeared tomorrow, it really wouldn't have that huge of an impact on me, and I was a silver power seller on it last year.

I'd taken everything out of Half more than a year ago. Then I listed a couple of books and one sold immediately, so I figured I'd list more. I've sold about one a month (30 or so total listed). This is the last straw for me.
