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!

Ebay policy is quite clear and we were all warned a few weeks ago about exchanging or sending contact details befor buying/selling an item

Ebay are taking strong steps to stop off ebay sales

If you have tried to exchange any contact details with another member before buying the item then ebay will restrict or suspend you.

They sent an email to all members on 22^nd Sept Changes to the user agreement

It will be in your ebay Messages tab on your My ebay for you to read

If it is any consolation you are not alone in being restricted but it does pay to read the emails ebay send

No, I've nothing in my eBay app, my eBay messages or my email app. So obviously I didn't get the warning! And again I get stopping the email, but to block me totally with no warning is not on!
