What we did was create duplicate pages using ie: oldpage.html containing a "robots noindex" and meta refresh to new product page, so new pages could get indexed and old pages removed from search engine index. This however is not ideal, as other sites might be linking to the old page, and there would be duplicate content on the site. What needs to happen is for Yahoo to allow htaccess in the hosting environment OR create a tool in the control panel to redirect product pages.

Apparently, it is a challenge when using store tags.. Would be interested to learn how you solved the problem of adding new/removing old pages to the Yahoo store.
