Message:: [QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3990992, member: 46237"]Because that's how they wrote the user agreement? What you described is explicitly against the rules. Here's an excerpt from the eBay User Agreement: Buyers and sellers can’t:<ul> <li>Engage in any action with a user on the site designed to complete or facilitate a transaction outside of eBay</li> <li>Share or request direct contact information prior to completing a sale<ul> <li>Exception: Sellers may opt to provide their phone number as part of the Ask a Seller a Question (ASQ) function to facilitate a sale on eBay</li> </ul></li> <li>In any communications with another eBay member, refer to or promote external websites that facilitate sales outside of eBay or other businesses</li> <li>Use any user information to contact another member to buy or sell off eBay</li> <li>List an item and then offer additional identical or related items for sale outside of eBay</li> <li>Offer catalogs or other items that are used to order items directly outside of eBay</li> <li>Host item descriptions or images outside of eBay</li> </ul>[/QUOTE]
