Stopped selling about 10 years ago....account still here....am totally confused
I used to sell things from my LP/CD collection here in my spare time for many years. Then the demands of my real job gave me no time to continue that hobby. Rather than delete my account I just put it on vacation mode (about 10-15 years ago) figuring eventually I'd have more time then turn vacation mode off & start selling again; which is now.....
When first logging in I can see under LISTING STATUS it says "Inactive - Listings not available for sale on Amazon". OK that makes sense, since I haven't turned off vacation mode yet. Yet nowhere on that page does it have an option for that.
But after clicking on SELLER CENTRAL I can still see about 150 "ACTIVE" listings in my inventory. However none of them are visible on Amazon for sale on the pages. I assume this is because I turned vacation mode on all those years ago. But now I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn that OFF. Where is option to do that?????
How do make those ACTIVE listings REALLY ACTIVE again??
Apologies if this is a dumb question but I have no idea what is going on....

Go to the Settings icon (gear wheel) at the top of the page, and select "Account Info". From there you can manage your vacation settings.
You will probably have to go through re-verification of your identity before you can actually start selling; this has been the norm for several years now for accounts that have been inactive, to help stop squatters/hijackers from taking over dormant accounts.
Welcome Back! And spend some time on the forums before diving in too deep; a lot has changed in 10 years.

My advice is to stop right there.
Getting your account activated again will be a pain in the neck.
When you have leaped the last hurdle, jumped through the last hoop, you will find that you cannot sell your used CDs/LPs on Amazon.
Save yourself a bunch of trouble and sell them on eBay.
