Why am I being being threatened by ebay

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.

Quite simply as far as eBay are concerned there's no reason to exchange contact details before actually buying.
