[Milsurplus] What's up on eBay?

[David Edsall]

Sorry, David, but I checked many other sales, including items by sellers 
known to me personally, all with high scores.
All item numbers are gone.
Looks like a change of some sort.
It would serve to prevent using one of the bidder services.

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.
