I do not understand what is wrong with this reply to a simple question asked of me.

I do not know,
it may have got listed separately, you could word search Bainbridge
Regards My Name. [ because we are not to use names here]

Ebay would not allow this reply.

It appears your message contains contact or payment information which is not allowed under our Member-to-member contact policy. For the safety of our users, all communication and payments must remain on the eBay platform.

Please somebody let me know why, I really do not get it ????????

I am not justifying it, but the automated system may think you are suggesting a Google search for Bainbridge and may think that could be your business name away from Ebay, so therefor assumes you are trying to get your buyer to buy from you off Ebay.

If you google "Bainbridge Stamps" there is a business in Bainbridge that sells stamps. (It is a post office.)

Artificial Stupidity, it is the coming thing. Computer says no.

Yes i can see that but it clearly shows how sellers can get into trouble because the computer does not understand and why not read the question and not just the answer, it would then understand the reply.

I think the basics are being overlooked all the time on this site, Its retail, why are we here and what is the purpose? To sell, Why make it complicated.

What is ironic  is there is another thread with a detailed discussion on buying and selling on another platform starting with the letter 'V'
