Emails between Buyer and seller cannot be sent

[jjba6541]

I wanted to buy an item from a seller that I had missed bidding on.I tried sending my Email through Ebay messages.So we could complete transaction .

But Ebay would not allow message to go through because of Email address which they said cannot be sent.I know that Ebay dont want

Items sold outside Ebay.But this item had finished some weeks before.

Ebay really dont want any communication between Buyers and sellers at all.Its all Business now.

of course it is a business, one that makes eBay shareholders moneyl.

if you want to contact the seller you can send them an email thru the Contact Seller link (providing they are an aussie seller or an international seller who ships to Australia)  you just cannot send them your email address.   they can then contact you thru the ebay message system and would be able to relist the item for you to buy thru ebay if they still have it and are agreeable to your offerd price.

Wow … that is such a very intelligent statement !

.

But just because it is a business trying to make money

.

That does not mean it is doing it right

More businesses have gone broke than still survive

That's true, you can not send email addresses, you have to go thru Ebay messages.

Of course there is ways around this........................................so i've been told.

What you should be doing is asking the seller to list it as a BIN with little or no information letting you now exactly what time it is going to be listed so you can buy it. That way there is no need for the exchange of email addresses.
