I could just scream. Actually I did that already, along with sending a whatever they call it to eBay questioning why they did it. According to the e-mail I received, I had the following:
Your listing(s) contained the following information:
"Contains a link to baconbuttie.co.uk within the source code of the listing"
Mind you, this is not a viewable link within the auction itself, just within the "watch this item" tracking source code. Now, I've been using this same script for 3-4 months and never had a warning or an auction ended. But I took advantage of eBay's 50% off collectibles promotion and spent HOURS working up my auctions and wake up to having all but a few closed.
Why couldn't they give me the courtesy of a 24 hour warning to fix the problem if there truly was one instead of yanking these off into never never land.
So, a warning to any of you that use the Watch script - make sure you're using the latest version (2.1.20 9-6-03).

We had a heads up about this site awhile ago by Tomwii. I think they have lost their buyer and seller ID on EBay. You will have to wait for Tomwii I think he knows the reason.

Yo! Ace! We talked about this 3 weeks ago!
BB states: "baconbuttie suspended I've been suspended for 90 days for revealing a security hole that I found in eBay code. The thing is, I told eBay about it before I made it public, but they didn't listen. Like that surprises you."
Just use the latest version of the WATCH or COUNTERS code which does not contain any links to BB
