Well, I just got rapped across the knuckles from eBay. See below:
We’re writing to let you know that activity on your account may not be following an important eBay policy that requires all transactions and payments to be completed on eBay. We understand that you might not have known about these policies. We're sending you this notification to ensure that you can follow the policy going forward.
Below are the details of where the activity occurred:
[TDE_SECONDARY_ITEMS]Violation: "Hi. I don't know if you remember me but I made several purchases from you off eBay for several Joe Hill items. My computer has since crashed and I lost all my email contacts. I don't think eBay will let me include my email here but if you remember me, please contact me. Otherwise I'll just make purchases through here."
Only transactions conducted on eBay can be covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee—a program that helps ensure everyone can buy on eBay with confidence. eBay has invested a great amount to help you find your perfect item and connect you with great sellers. We want to continue to partner with you in the fulfillment of your transactions.
As part of our partnership with you, we're beta testing a way for a seller to share their phone number with buyers pre-sale. In this beta test, sellers can opt in to allow their buyers to call them with questions about the products. This will eliminate the need for you to share any contact information through member messages. We encourage sellers to use this new feature. Sellers can opt in by editing their buyer communications in their My eBay page.
We encourage you to review the details of the policy to understand what you can and can’t do. Please take the next 3 days to make sure your buying and selling activities follow these guidelines. If they don't, your account(s) may be subject to a range of actions, including:
- You won't be able to buy or list for up to 7 days.
- You won't be able to send or receive messages with eBay members for 7 days unless you have a recent transaction.
- If you're also a seller, then some or all of your fixed price listings will be hidden from search results for 7 days, and fees won't be refunded.
If you have any questions, contact us:

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Thanks,
eBay
