Posted By: <b>Runscott</b><p>Hey Everyone,<br /><br />I've gotten a couple of contact from guys on this forum, trying to use the ebay 'contact member' function.<br /><br />Ebay has restrictions now and I CANNOT use the 'respond' button to reply back. The only way to respond is if you do NOT hide your email address when you contact me.<br /><br />I haven't tried selling on ebay in about 9 months, so what I found when I ran some auctions last week:<br /><br />1. Auctions turn 'private' automatically when dollar amount hits $200<br />2. As a seller, ebay forbids me to contact ANY bidder once the auction starts - this SUX<br />3. Ebay randomly will not let you contact certain members, even if they are NOT involved in a transaction with you.<br />4. Ebay seems to have a hard-on for members, as I know people who CAN contact others on ebay.<br /><br />If you need to get hold of me for anything, my email is above - I'm not in hiding or anything, just can't afford this outrageously expensive hobby anymore! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Hope everyone is doing well!<br /><br />Scott
