All my auctions were cancelled this afternoon (see my earlier post) due to some kind of ebay billing glitch. In order to regain access to my account, I made a one-time Paypal cash transfer to cover last month's fees.
In case anyone is wondering, even that sum is in dispute. My suspension notice from ebay claimed I owed "x" amount; a discussion with ebay's live help indicated "y" amount owing, and when I finally regained access to my seller's account, I saw that I owed "z" amount (and while the sum I transferred from Paypal has YET to appear as a credit on my account, even figuring that amount in, I have no clue where the "z" amount comes from). I was also overjoyed to see that ebay charged me a late payment fee as of 8-16-04, because THEY neglected to charge my ready-and-waiting VISA card on 8-15-04. But I digress . . .
What I would really like to know is how to reinstitute my cancelled auctions? I tried selecting the affected auctions from my vendio page under Completed Auctions, refreshing them, and trying to relist.
They all errored out, giving me some complaint about the old auction number no longer being in ebay's database.
Does this mean I have to manually recreate all 42 auctions and resubmit them as new?

Just guessing here - but if you're errored out auctions are now in pending - Can you use the copy function on the pending auctions?
Go to your Closed auctions. Select one and click the Relist button down at the bottom.
Way over on the right is an Edit link. If you click on that it will bring up the auction. Be sure you click Save at the bottom. That will put it back into your Pendings.
Hope this helps and sorry to hear about eBay's snafu.

Jack is probably right. When eBay ends your auctions, they usually go "poof" and disappear. I always do mine in FrontPage and save them. That way if anything goes wrong, I have a copy on my computer.
