If you sell an item at auction and try to contact the underbidder off the auction listing, Ebay routes you through a second chance system where they control the content and charge you a fee if the buyer takes the item.
The way around this is to use the buyer's feedback on another deal to contact the buyer. Saves the final value fee on it.
