[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3044654, member: 9374"] Trying to send phone numbers or email addresses via PM on Ebay, they get blocked. Their system watches out automatically for things in PMs that resemble email addresses and phone numbers and xxxx's them out. I am assuming you got banned for trying multiple times to send your email. People will contact someone on Ebay via PM, ask about selling it outside Ebay with, "Contact me at this address and we can do a side deal." Thus, they've developed this protection into their system. And yet, vendors put their phone number right in their ads, and I have dealt with several this way - have even called them and they have offered to sell outside Ebay for less. I don't get it, sometimes, but it is the way they have things set up. [/QUOTE]
