	That usually indicates that Ebay pulled the auction due to (suspected)
fraud of some kind.    Often the listings are fakes (no real item exists
and is for sale) - occasionally it happens when a particular seller is
banished... and all his auctions removed.

	Happens to me fairly frequently (as a potential bidder, not seller)...
usually I myself suspected the item in question was unlikely to be legit...
and sure enough the auction and any public recognition of the item number
soon vanished.
