T EBarry, I don't know why major auction houses pull items that are in their catalogues, but they do.
Your example of an error in listing is why a seller should be able to end a listing, at least for that reason, any time. I have had auctions where I discovered an error in the listing on the last day and have been unable to end it due to the 12 hour rule.
Sellers should be discouraged from ending listings early but still allowed to do so. I'm still looking for the Latin for the reverse of Caveat Emptor, to apply it to the seller, Seller Beware...but you are on your own...
