Has anyone noticed that Verlinden's Ebay store is shut down, is it a sign of the times for Verlinden, or are they simply getting out of the ebay world?

I went to it the other day and it is closed with the comment below, what is surprising is that they aren't referring customers to their own webstore at Verlindenonline.com. Anyway here is what is posted:

Effective immediately we will no longer be accepting any orders on the eBay account 3dverlinden.
For continued support and ordering please visit Dragon Hobby at stores.ebay.com/Dragon-Hobby
Best Regards
