Ebay Melts Ice Cream Man's Online Auction

After months of planning and tons of advertising Ebay melted Local Favorite Ice Cream Man's national fundraiser by turning off the account. Here is a post from matt him self. Hopefully he will find a solution soon.

Hi ice cream friends,
At around 10pm last night, while i was enjoying a beer with friends at one of my favorite bars in NY, Maracuja, I got two emails from ebay saying that the Ice Cream Man Sponsorship Auction had been removed. WHAT? And everything was going SO well. We were proud of all the work we had put in to get the word out there. And, it was pretty too.I've posted a news article outlining everything that happened here. I've talked with live chat on ebay and also emailed Ebay Trust and Security (who haven't replied) and talked to a nice lady on the phone but we're still screwed here and there's very lil recourse. We put in hundreds of hours on this auction and numerous friends (thanks Jambase, SPIN, Glide Magazine, Muzzle of Bees, and more) were willing to post news bits about it and donate thousands of dollars in ad space and now we've got $0 and no real person at ebay to talk to about the issue.I've been a registered ebay user for TEN years with 100% positive feedback and this is how I get treated?. The only thing we can think to do right now is to try to get some press about this until we hear back from ebay. We might just run the auction on icecreamman.com but I've gotta leave Brooklyn today to get to Chicago in time to sling cream at the children's hospital and Pitchfork Fest on Friday.If we can get our story Dugg by over 200 people we'll get on the homepage and might be able to get some more press from that. Please digg it and shout to your friends to have them digg it too.

Sorry for the excessive email blasts the last week. All we wanna do is give away ice cream...promise Matt
