Blocked from sending messages!!!

[pgri7637]

Hi I tried to answer a seller's question which involved giving my PayPal email address ( which when u buy stuff they see) and when I went to send the message it stated it had blocked it due to personal information being contained in the message, which I can sort of understand. But they said the had now BLOCKED me from sending any messages for seven days! **bleep**! That's bang out of order. I'm really annoyed I get saying they can't send a message, but to them stop me from sending any messages ( I'm currently buying lots of stuff) is plain out of order. I pay fees, seller's pay fees, I don't deserve to be treated like a bloody criminal!

You are not being treated like a criminal.

All members who try to exchange contact details via messages are being treated the same, ebay are clampiing down in it.

There was no reason for you to send a seller your Paypal email address, ebay picked it up as it looked like you and the seller were trying to do an off ebay deal.

The 7 day suspension only applies to messaging, you can still buy and sell.

Except we were not trying to do an outside eBay deal! And yes I understand not sending it but to block me when I have never done it before is bang out of order!

you were warned, when you try to send a message containing contact details it flashes a warning that the message has banned content, if you remove the contact details you can send the message,


if you try to send it again without removing the content, you are banned.

Whether or not you were trying to do an off ebay deal you were trying to send contact details in an ebay message which is not allowed.

Why did you need to send your email address?
