Why am I being being threatened by ebay

[r12gas]

Ebay has just threatened me because I've included a phone number when replying to a seller with whom I've agreed a price and need to communicate with to arrange collection and payment method.

I don't like being threatened when I am conducting an entirely honorable transaction.

You cannot exchange any contact details unless the buyer has committed to buy through eBay

There is no way to accept an offer.....it would not have been honourable as you would have been defrauding eBay of their fees !!

We ALL receivbed a message from eBay in September warning us of the consequences of exchanging contact details

There ia a notice on the messaging page saying you cannot exchange any contact details
