SNIPT
Other then what I THINK happened.

Some NO LIFE, MISERABLE lurker in these groups, basically a RAT ,
SCUMBAG dropped a dime on my newsgroup listings to eBay, and they
removed my auction. If you check my newsgroup post, and it's responses,
SNIPT

Listing an item FA: in a newsgroup is an ebay violation? OK it is but
why? How does attracting more potential buyers and getting a higher
FAVF bad for ebay?

As for not reimbursing a listing fee they can get away with that because
of all the disclaimers in that you willingly posted something was in
violation and it was up taking HD space, not their fault you broke the
rules, you got what you paid for a listing. To reimburse you wouldn't
be cost effective and they don't care you never use them again, they got
10 new suckers coming on line every second.
