Wow a lot of info, thanks guys. I also believe they have some kind of filter bot to prevent people sending their website address etc. But like vic said, they must be switched on/off in different situations. Because I have received some peoples websites/emails in their messages they have sent to me.
Im guessing it would depend on if it looks suspicious, and other factors like how long they have been members, feeback etc.
I guess I will have to choose every single word carefully when sending messages.
I am now going to try to make use of my 'about ME page'. I heard ebay are cracking down on people abusing this also. If I can try to instruct people to view my ME profile via messages, instead of listing website/email address directly in my messages, this may be the answer? I guess only trial & error will tell.
When you message someone through ebay, do they usually get the message instantly? Earlier I did a little test by sending a message with website/email to another of my ebay accounts but my other account still as not received it yet (that was 2 hours ago). Again time will tell........
Thanks again guys & any more info regarding this topic would be great. Chico
