Good read.
I think you need to keep pressing eBay and demand, in writing, the exact reason that they pulled your auction (ostensibly, so that you as a seller can avoid having future auctions pulled). I’d love to see their rationale.
Well if I were seriously interested in selling the thing I might, but I think I made my point. The only thing that might change my mind is if the the thing actually sold, then ebay would be flooded with additional posts from thousands of people... basically everyone with a tree in their yard. And that would rip the bottom out of the "Carbon Credit" market.
That might be kind of fun, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
