ebay are deleting my items

 I recently had 53 items that I knew would disappear from my unsold section as they were nearly 60 days old. I forgot to send them to my lists to save them and they were deleted from ebay.

when I went through my book to see which items they were, i discovered that ebay have deleted nearly 80 items.

I have started going through my other accounts and am finding items that have disappeared from them as well.

I keep a close eye on my item dates and know when each one will run out. I always relist the oldest first.

Something strange is happening here, Items shouldn't go missing when they are under 60 days old.

Could It be another glitch or a way to rid ebay of small sellers?
