What you reckon?

Been watching some items for sale by a business seller with an ebay shop for the past few weeks. They were at a good price but I didn't really have the money in my paypal etc for the quantity (busy spending it on other items!)

Anyway, last night I was basically just about to click BIN when my internet went down! I thought "oh well I'll just get them tomorrow"

Came on today and all their items (4 pages!) have disappeared :(

It doesn't say "not a registered user" next to their name, they've had a few negs but nothing I would say was too out of ordinary for a big seller.
Incase you're interested, the id is "boltonbits"


Anyway what you lot reckon has happened? Has ebay pulled the lot? :confused:

    Mmh Very strange!

    It does look as if ebay have removed them as if the seller had cancelled them they would still show up as "Seller has ended item early"
    There are 2 phone numbers in the listings ,why not give him a call?
    His feedback is poor for items not arriving and poor communications,I would probably avoid!
    :j I love bargains:j
    I love MSE
  • They have violated one of ebays rules.... Maybe he shill bid, which i think means that all his listings get removed... he still has to pay the fees for them, and he can ONLY list BIN for the next 2 weeks. Or if not that,it will be something similar i think

    There's a more likely, and simple answer.

    The seller has an ebay shop, and they'd taken a break. If they did that, and wanted to, they can use the shop holiday settings to 'hide' their listings until they return to 'disclose' them again.

    Exclamation and question marks - ONE exclamation mark or question mark is sufficient to exclaim or ask about something. More than one just makes you look/sound like a prat.
