<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bartelmoose, post: 757964, member: 21313&quot;]Recently a lengthy thread appeared on this forum (&quot;An Ebay Rip??&quot; ) about a forum member (Buyer) bragging he had successfully solicited an eBay Seller to sell him a coin in a direct transaction outside of the eBay auction. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t69486/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t69486/"><span style="color: #0000ff">http://www.cointalk.com/t69486</span></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In several postings I made it quite clear to the Buyer this was not only against eBay rules but also laws governing auctions conducted via interstate commerce.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Buyer insisted I was wrong. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>eBay now has this warning I noticed today when messaging a Seller (re: shipping costs) about his pending auction:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>&quot;Always remember to complete your transactions on eBay - it&#039;s the safer way to trade.</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Is this message an offer to buy your item directly through email without winning the item on eBay? If so, please help make the eBay marketplace safer by reporting it to us. These &quot;outside-of-eBay&quot; transactions may be unsafe and are against eBay policy.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
