BOO for Ebay

The Design Team at Scrap Addict made some awesome items for a charity auction and the owner of the site put them up for auction on Ebay with 100% of the proceeds going to the Red Cross for Hurrican Katrina relief. The owner made none of the items herself, but bid using her personal ebay account on a couple of things that she wanted for Christmas presents. And Ebay shut down the auctions and said she was "shill" bidding. I am 100% confident that she was doing no such thing, especially since she told me to quit bidding on something that she wanted or she was going to fire me :) Iunderstand why they need these rules in place, but they don't apply in this instance and I think they made a wrong move.
