ebay crack down on off-ebay sales

[Bondsgloves]

I was kicked off, and it wasn't for selling anything off ebay. One guy was selling an item and I asked for additional photos and he asked for my email to send them. So I sent him my email address. The second was I included my phone number in a question so another seller could text me photos. I was kicked off and had to open a new account last week.

They need competition. I know others have tried, but somebody needs to get a competitive site going.

I have seen sellers attach an image with their email address or phone number in the image before as a way of circumvention.

Ebay's site and ebay's user agreement. If you dont abide by the rules off with ya head.

Even on perfectly legitimate (by their standards) emails and replies, I often get a warning to not make deals off eBay. I never got a personal email or call, but I get the generic message often even when there's nothing remotely related to the types of actions eBay is trying to police.
