putting direct email...
 

Would it be wise to put our direct email in the listing somewhere other than the description of course? Such as in the spaces where you can put what the product is under condition section? I even thought maybe where the location space is would be an ideal spot. This is all so that people can contact us directly to buy direct rather than bidding. I do most of my sales this way anyway but to make it easier for the buyers to get in contact. I'm just wondering if by putting the same email would ebay recognize that each time we put up a new account?

They can just contact you by clicking on ask seller a question and unless it's a rare item that you know sells for alot of money on ebay and ppl are looking for deals I don't see anyone contacting you to purchase it outside of ebay when they can just bid on it.

Well they usually do contact me through ebay, then I just give them my regular email so they can continue with their contacting me direct; however if the email is right there in front of them it just makes it easier so that it limits as much to do with ebay as possible.
Also the items I offer are all custom built and not available anywhere else, so most of my orders for the past three years have been put in direct, I mainly just use ebay for advertisement which is why I'm wondering if I do put my email in with each product, would they be able to detect that with their scanning software? Or am I pretty safe as long as I do not put it in the description?

People continue to contact me thru ebay even after several emails have passed between us. This happens even after I've been suspended so what does that tell you? People just love using ebay's message center.

Haha. If it was that simple. They do that because they are simple headed and
narrow in their thinking. They are the ones giving ebay more than it is worth.
