Hi Guys
I have only used ebay a couple times to buy & sell. I just got an email from a member who asked me "what is the buy now price if I end the auction early etc" I went to respond by email saying "Assuming this is ok with ebay. I will follow this up if you like? The buy now price would be" Tried to send this with no joy. Why cant I reply to him?

Just go to the 'Respond now' button in the actual message, which you can access through your message within 'My eBay'.

Click on the user name, then click contact user.
Ebay dont smile at selling it outside ebay if the contact came from within ebay. But they dont care when someone rips you off either. So I dont really care, just mentioning it to you. i think you can add a buy it now price anyway Dont send anything until cash is in your account, or hot little hands. Cheques and the like arent cash. I said cash. |

But I tried that & it lets me contact him & then when I go to send msg im asked to enter a verification code I do & this msg appears. My Messages: Contact Member Attention! We have determined you are trying to contact an eBay member with whom you are not currently involved in an open transaction. For the protection of the eBay community, we sometimes block these types of communication. To prevent this occurrence from happening in the future, we recommend the following: If you are a seller, respond to all bidder questions before the auction ends. If you are trying to contact the seller of an item that has not yet ended go to the item page and click the “Ask seller a question” link. If you are the winning buyer of an item go to your My eBay page under the items I’ve Won section. Click the action drop down menu and choose the “contact seller” action. If you are a seller trying to contact your wining buyer, go to My eBay and under the Items I’ve Sold section, click the action drop down menu. Choose the “contact buyer” action. Reply to seller/bidder through personal email provider (if the sender has not hidden their email address). Thank you for your understanding.

i have a feeling that this ebayer has been reported and have stopped people contacting him. post your number in the add so people can call you about deals ect.
also put on ALL of your add's "item listed elsewhere and i reserve the right to end the auction early" that way if you end it you can say you sold the item privately to a friend or on a forum. saves your ****. id contact ebay through the help section in regards to you not being able to reply.

If this person has been reported & ebay have delisted them, then this will show against their user name. Do not recommend that you put your contact number on for all to see.
It sound like they a trying to find out the minimum you will take. Something is not sounding quite right with all this.

I've never sold on E-Bay, only bought stuff, but if I was going to sell, I'd list a buy it now price at what I'd want for an item. You can (should) be able to get into your auction & add some detail stating what you lowest price is, but I wouldn't sell outside of E-Bay. As others have said, you may well get burnt...... Hope this makes sense! Ed |

Are you sure, your getting taking to an ebay login site? It could be all fake, and they now have your login details, if you did login. And the message is setup, to make it look like it's real....

The ebay mail sending verification is pretty random, it's blocked mail I've tried to send to legit' buyer's many times before in the past.

It's against the terms and conditions to be cutting deals outside of the auction. Lol, that goes for any auction by the by, its not how they work. I think the closest you could get would be to relist the item with a buy-it-now price.
Worst case scenario is that if the deal goes bad, ebay are going to be less interested than usual in helping you out. +1 vote for playing by the rules here
