What happened to auction.livedoor.com?

[jubichan]

Hi, not sure if I posted on the correct forum... anyway, I used to bid on auction.livedoor.com way back. But now, my account is gone... and I never received any email concerning this. Plus, it appears the whole "auction section" on the Livedoor website disappeared! All I saw on their website was something about new management, etc.. no mention of what happened to the auction portion of the website. Heard about the scandal on Livedoor, I wonder if that's the reason why it's gone..?
Anyone know more info regarding this? Will they bring the auction section back? (I probably should email them, but my Japanese isn't the best)
Thanks!

Have a look here: Google News

Nope, no mention of it. And I went thru all 19 pages too
I went back to their site though and searched again, and I did saw a department store link similar to the auction format, but it is just that, an online store were merchants can post their goods at a set price. Oh well, guess I have to deal with the fact that they've removed the auction page. I'll see if I can email them to know if they'll ever bring it back.
Again, if anyone knows more information, please post here. I'll get back here too if I hear from them.
