Well, it appears that, I've broken the rules on the bay. Infact, to be exact, this one .........eBay Listing Removed: Inappropriate Seller Terms (=LS &12362 JM151849020).
I've decided to sell my hand held scanner as I no longer use it, (Yupiteru MVT-7100 Multiband Reciever/Scanner), but in my description, because it is also advertised in the local ads, I can't use the term...... "advertised locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early".
How many times do you read that on the bay
so therefore I received this.........

I've asked them whats the difference between me stating the above for a scanner, and stating the above for a car or anything else for sale
no reply as yet, so it looks like I dont have the right to remove it from the bay if it's sold locally.
bring back national service I say, and get the lot of em in, never did me any harm. 
not any more though.
