Anyone know what Ebay's definition of "involved in a recent transaction" means?

Direct quote from eBay.com.au:

"1. To better protect the privacy of eBay users, you can only request contact information for eBay users who are involved in your current or recent transactions. Examples are:

- Sellers can request the contact information for all bidders in an active transaction and the winning bidder in a successful, closed transaction.

- Bidders can request the contact information for a seller during an active transaction and in a successful, closed transaction if they are the winning bidder."

I agree that eBay should require some form of permission from the seller first.
