Fortunately I haven't had that experience with Ebay yet.
In the video camera section it happens a lot. Seems like a bunch of back alley electronics stores in New York don't like having to sell when their $5000 3-chip cameras don't get a good price, so they remove it just before the end and claim either it's not for sale anymore or there's a "mistake" in the listing. One time I even saw a guy claim it was in the wrong section but then relisted it in the exact same section. Some ebayers should just be shot. :-(
