The pig seller took it off ebay today, it even had 1 bid on it. This is such a lousy action to do for so many reasons. I have sold over 1000 recorda on ebay and i have never even thinked of removing it for a offsite bid, leaving the honest buyers without a chance to win it. I really wanted to bid on it. Another reason why ebay soon will be dead.

well that's the sellers fault not ebay.
the seller wanted to make more money and didn't want to pay fees, or the person who bought it
offered a crazy price and the seller didn't think it would go that high.

i still don't like it but that's how it goes.

I know, ebay hate it just as much as I do, they have it in there agreement and an buyer can get a limited account for offering an offsite sale.

They could actually make it harder to remove the auction, in the swedish auction site which is owned buy ebay. There both the seller and highest bidder have to agree that the auction will be removed. On ebay you can just check that the item was lost or damaged and never hear about it again.
