The thing that really killed your auction was the comment about the $10
surcharge for PayPal. If I were you, I'd check on my PayPal account and
see if it has been suspended too. Extra fees are something that they are
seriously against because that makes PayPal less attractive as a payment
method.

Ed, my auction said nothing about the winning bidder paying PAYPAL
fees. That was in a for sale post on the radio groups I posted AFTER my
auction got cancelled. I wasn't aware that was a violation. Someone
apprised me of it and I retracted it immediatley.

It's likely that a competitor saw that and narked you to eBay. Usenet
and SPAM probably had nothing to do with it. I didn't see the original
auction listing, only your rec.something posting via Google.


The ONLY reason I can think of for the removal was someone making a
complaint about the newsgroup posting. As you said, either a competitor,
or a no-life jealous lurker. And thanks to your information and insight
we now know they probaboly lied since two of the three groups I posted
on have NO prohibirion against eBay auction postings.

However, since eBay apparently refuse to answer my inquiry as to why the
auction was dumped, we may never know.

Isn't eBay obligated to give you a reason as to why they cancelled your
auction?
