What HTTP response should you send when an item/category on your ecommerce site has been disabled or deleted? 410 looks correct for deleted products but not sure about something that has been disabled temporarily

I'm curious as to why a product page would be effectively disabled if it is known that the product will be back - why not accept backorders? (Seems like there's a chance you'd lose business if the customer can't see that the product still exists on the site)

Use 410 is it is deleted permanently. Use 307 if it is only disabled and will be back again. That will tell the search engines to keep trying and not to assume the page is gone forever.
