  What happened to Larrys' eBay Hopper Auctions?
 
Each of them comes up with an invalid ID... Derick (25 years ago, 9-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: What happened to Larrys' eBay Hopper Auctions?
 
eBay terminated all of them as well as the empty box, claiming they contained gratuitious comments or opinions. I am presuming that eBay takes this action at the request of someone, so I guess I am definitely on someone's list for harassment now. (...) (25 years ago, 9-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

What comments did you make? Who complained? (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: What happened to Larrys' eBay Hopper Auctions?
 
(...) Here's (part of, the part I think did it) the text of the 4536 listing that got canned. I removed this part and replaced it with a more bald statement that I got the hoppers from Busy Bee and no comments. The rest of the listing remains (...)

  Re: What happened to Larrys' eBay Hopper Auctions?
 
(...) I thought our goal was to educate the sellers so that they do not take advantage of people. I do not feel I have a right to try and educate people bidding on someone else's auction. Feedback is supposed to be a ruler of how good/bad the seller (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) I don't know about you, but I have the right to educate anyone I want to as long as it doesn't bother them. I tought Larry's goal was to educate buyers that are getting ripped off. (...) This suggests that you think something else has (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: What happened to Larrys' eBay Hopper Auctions?
 
(...) That's fine especially since we don't know who exactly has affected your listings that way. But I disagree. If one person is going to use a system (that they have the right to) in order to punish you for trying to make things right, why not (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
