Last night my time i put up a wanted adv for a set of plans for wood burning heater. Today it is cancelled. There was no fees no emails from ebay for a listing. Just a listing in the wanted page.

eBay Listing Removed: Circumvention of eBay Fees (=LS &12362 JM13390453)
Dear agate18,
Thank you for your recent Want It Now posting. You listed the following item:
180011288743 - STEEL WOOD BURNING HEATER PLANS.
Unfortunately, eBay removed your listing. All fees related to this listing have been credited to your account. We also notified members who placed bids on the item that the listing has
been canceled.
The listing was removed because it violated the eBay Circumvention of eBay Fees policy. The violation occurred when you included the following information in your listing:
frank. agate18
Using systems and techniques that enable sellers to avoid paying eBay fees is not permitted. Trying to avoid fees is damaging to the online marketplace, penalizes sellers who pay their fees, and undermines members' trust.
eBay doesn't permit members to provide contact information in their Want It Now postings. Such information includes:
- First and last names
- User IDs
- Instant messaging IDs
- Telephone numbers
- Email addresses
- Domain names

I just checked "want it now" and each post is assigned a number and the item looked at had the number Post number: 180011495270 so it looks like that must have been the number of your post.

EDITED TO ADD: Oh I SEE! They pulled it because you used your first name - lord knows that that REALLY promotes outside of ebay trading LOL

Actually, I think it was because he used his eBay ID - you have to list both first and last name to be a violation - just from what I read in the OP.

Agate,
Suggest you try a Wanted listing on Craig's List - it's free. Also remember that Google is your friend and do a few searches there. Don't overlook a good library either - librarians are your friends too!

agitprop. Thank you for the info. i Have been searching google for 2 days now without any luck. and am still searching. where i live there is no libraries. I am putting out feelers in a lot of directions as well. But if anyone does have plans available i am happy to pay for them. Thanks for help everyone.
