Not sure how many of you saw my auction, but it has been ended by eBay. I sort of suspected I might break a rule somewhere, but it wasn't one I suspected that got it removed.

Did you get a copy of it Joe? Do I still get to be part of the contest? I did save the auction as an HTML file on my local drive, I was waiting to see how long before it was pulled lol.

Here is the email I got from eBay.

Dear (I removed my name and home email address here)

**PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT EMAIL REGARDING YOUR LISTING(S)**

We would like to let you know that we removed your listing(s):

3012210846 Virtual Sex Game, Prototype, Beta Program

for violating our Beta Software Policy. Please read our Beta Software Policy here:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/beta.html

We have credited any associated fees to your account. We have also notified the bidders that the listing(s) was removed, and that they are not obligated to complete the transaction.

If you relist this item, or any other item that violates this policy, your account could be suspended.

If you believe your listing was removed in error, please let us know by replying to this email with supporting information.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Respectfully,

Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department)
eBay

Anyway if anyone wants to see the HTML file let me know, but hopefully Joe has it archived.

You know I don't think they truly read the auction, or they would have seen it was clearly not a beta software lol. I think they must have a filter that looks foe key words likeBeta and others. Anyone else ever have listings pulled that were legit but maybe a description that was questionable?

OK I'm caught up with the backups again!

@Stonecutter: don't sweat it, I'll just have your link point to the PDF file. I anticipated that eBay would close some of these auctions. The keyword "Sex" alone could sometimes be enough!

So far, 38 entries! I've updated the contest page:
