Fucking SE made Ebay take down my account auction >.<

[Kyoshinra]

pisses me off. I had like a day and a half to go until the auction ended, and 4 people were watching it, and one person had bid on it, then I go to check on it this morning, and they took it down, but they were kind enough to tell me they were still charging me for the cost to put it up, bastards. So yeah, I thought I did it right, I know you cant just sell youre damn account because it is property of SE, and if you want to sell it on Ebay, you have to sell like a post card, and give the account with it for free, and I did that, but I guess I worded it wrong. here is a copy of the message they sent me.

"Thank you for your recent auction-style listing. You listed the following:
