Thanks for the comments everyone.
Get a load of this. On Wednesday night, I go on with business as usual... check forums, check auction, etc. What do I find? Ebay removed my listing and cited misrepresentation as the cause. I was furious and emailed them a lengthy explanation combating their accusations. They replied saying that I was right and that it was a mistake. Why is this crap happening to me? EL OH EL. I mean, come on Ebay, how do you drop the ball like that? I must be one in a million or something. Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket. I had little more than 2 days left on the auction. I was up to 300+ viewers and 14 watchers. I had a pretty good thing going. Oh well, at least they refunded my money. I'm going to hold out before I relist to see if the trade for the Explorer happens. If not, back to Ebay I go.
Here's Ebay's official reply email:
