Anyone know how to get in contact with an eBay underbidder?

But is there any way to contact the underbidder, who I can also see made several bids in the last minute. eBay wouldn’t like this but I’d rather just contact them directly to sell the card rather than relist and wait for five days. Anyone know how to do this? I can see their eBay user name, and can go to their profile page, but it won’t let me contact them.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If the original sale "completed" and you just cancelled it, you could also send a Second Chance Offer to the underbidder for whatever their high bid was. The transaction would still go thru Ebay, unfortunately. But sending a Second Chance Offer also allows you to send them a note along with the offer.
