NO, you must never give your address to prospective buyers allowing them to view before bidding/ buying.

 

they need to bid to buy and win the bidding ( but not pay) then you can give your details...if on inspection they want to cancel, you will need to mutually agree. If they are happy, they pay the cash and take the pew away.

Noooo,   that is a big No,  No !

 

Your account would get suspended if you release any contact details before the buyer buys.

 

A bidder winning the auction  then   can  receive contact details.  They do not proceed with a Paypal payment.  They come,  inspect the item and then pay cash if all is OK.

 

You see eBay charge their seller fee the second an item sells and not when the buyer pays you,  so there would be nothing to enforce that buyer to later go home,  and press that Buy it Now button,  and in effect no fees paid to eBay for finding you a buyer.
