Ebay killed all my auctions with hours to go Sunday night. Apparently my auctions had 3 Auctionwatch links in them.
I don't think I put them in there. Anybody else get their listings killed because they posted them with AuctionManager?

I've been using AuctionWatch and have never had this problem. AuctionWatch puts a very small link at the bottom of the page. Are you sure they didn't kill them for ay other reason? Have you gotten an email warning from them? As far as I know, they generally email a warning. Could be wrong though.

It feels like ebay is using progressive discipline which appears to go something like this:
First they warn.
Second they cancel items.
Third they cancel items.
Fourth they cancel ALL items
Fifth they review for suspension but don't suspend. (I am here as of this morning)
Sixth?
I did establish that I did have at least one item with external links. I also established to my own satisfaction that not ALL of my auctions were in violation, what must have happened is that I reached step 5 and they killed ALL my auctions.
I got to step 5 quite by accident after making a lengthy effort to clean up my templates and thinking I was finished. I relist occasionally and what happened is I let an item with external links slip through again. I must be very careful when loading items from old batches to clean out the links or else I hit step 6.
Ebay no doubt has classed me "Some people just won't learn" but I would say it is more like "Forced by traffic into the Exact Change Only Lane without exact change".
