Here is the text of an email I received shortly after completing a transaction outside of ebay.
I had contacted the Seller with a very specific question. He agreed to send pictures by email and asked me to phone him. He then offered a discount of more than 10% to me, but inexplicably would only accept payment through Paypal gift. I had expected him to have a credit card facility.
'Here’s a summary of the main changes:
• We’ve added new terms to the User Agreement to clarify that users are not permitted to complete outside of eBay any sales transactions with each other arising from items listed on the eBay platform. Offers to buy and sell or communicate outside of eBay constitute policy violations and may be subject to a range of actions including limits on buying and selling privileges as well as the application of final value fees for such transactions, the application of fees for the introduction of a seller to a buyer and the recovery of expenses for policy monitoring and enforcement. The same can result from sharing or requesting contact information with the intention to trade outside of eBay. You can read the relevant policy here.
• We have included language which means that we may deduct fees, charges or other amounts which you owe us from an eBay credit balance held or controlled by you.
As with earlier updates, we’ve made other changes to keep the User Agreement up to date with the products and services we provide.
You don’t need to take any further action to accept the new User Agreement. If you choose not to accept the new terms, visit this help page for further information.

The eBay Team'
