    disclose personal info to contact a private seller?

    I want to contact a seller to ask a question in motorcycles, You now need to include your:

    First name Surname Primary phone Postcode and Email! All of it is prefilled within the question box. I really don't want to divulge so much detail just to ask a question.

    Ironically this gives sellers a perfect way to circumnavigate Ebay's fees by contacting me via those details!! Is there a way of doing this without sending said info? Thanks.

    If the seller has feedback, would you be able to message them via the contact member link on their feedback profile page?

    If it's a classified ad the seller will have already paid ebay the selling fee so they cannot evade any more fees.

    If the Vehicle is listed as a Classified Ad., then the exchange of contact details are allowed through the eBay listing.
