<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3031810, member: 27832&quot;]I get that eBay doesn&#039;t want to become a showroom for off-eBay transactions. But assuming every @-sign or ten-digit number in a message is an attempt to evade fees is earning them an <i>awful</i> lot of ill will.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm. They used to show a complete history of user IDs for any seller on request; now, they obfuscate old IDs, showing only the first and last character for each. I wonder if that&#039;s to avoid &quot;disclosing&quot; email addresses, from the days when people used their email address as their ID?</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a <i>heck</i> of a time figuring out how to arrange a local pickup for an item I had <i>already bought and paid for</i> on eBay! &quot;Where are you? Let me give you my cell... oh, wait, can&#039;t do that. Okay, you know that Burger King on Mulberry Street? Want to meet there at 5? I&#039;ll text you when I get there -- no, wait, can&#039;t do that either...&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
