ebay pulls alot of crap for stupid reasons.

he's in the same city as me. if it's not too far you can try to strike a deal with him offline for all the cards and i can pick it up for you.

The seller may have violated ebay's "duplicate listing" policy, which a number of sellers have recently complained about. Basically, you need to have enough differences in the item title or else it may get pulled by ebay. Couldn't find where I originally saw this complaint, but here's another one from PSA's forum complaining about this today: Link

It was most likely because of duplicate listing "violations". Even if the cards listed in the title are different if the photo (IE: when sellers use the 4 cards per scan for listings) and description are the same ebay might remove the listing.

I've dealt with this with my business, it's a huge pain in the ass. There are ways around it, the easiest way is to just copy the title and put it in the description so both the title and description are different from the other listings with the same photo.

I've bought several cards from that seller, never had a problem with him.

I received the same message after I won and paid for a card. The seller didn't know why and because the auction had already ended, it didn't make sense for it to be a listing violation. Weren't they experiencing technical difficulties last week?

[forgerelli]

Sometimes ebay will cancel the completed sales of a seller that is getting put on suspension for violations. I had that happen to me on a store item. I called ebay and they admitted there was no violation but did nothing about the 3 or 4 canceled sales.

If you already paid, the Paypal transaction is enough to complete the sale and you have buyer protection through Paypal.

Also: I believe ebay was hacked into by "anonymous" last week. I didn't have any real problems with sales or listings but there were a lot of errors occurring.

Thanks for the information. I received the card I was referring to today.
