I tried to activate a plug-in and it disabled my site, had to re-do everything

Hi all:
I got my site up and running and was customizing it, until I tried to download a WP-Auction plug-in and my site crashed. My site URL and WP-admin URL would no longer work and I kept getting the following error message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare widget_wp_auctions() (previously declared in /home2/dailydib/public_html/classifieds/wp-content/plugins/wp-auctions/wp_auctions.php:761) in /home2/dailydib/public_html/classifieds/wp-content/plugins/wp-auctions/wp_auctions.php on line 761

So I tried to re-install Classipress but it would not work and on the third try i changed the URL name extension and it worked. I have two questions for anyone who may be able to help:

1. Has this ever happened to you and if so were you able to recover your site? And how?

2. I purchased the small biz version of classipress and i would have installed it a total of 3 times due to this error, so does this mean that I only have 2 more installs available? Or would I still be able to use the other 4 that I should have had left?

Thanks for any help

So disappointed,
