eBay sent warning message re selling outside eBay

[User220]

Got a message saying they have observed my account and have seen I may be breaching the offers to buy or sell outside eBay policy

Some buyers ask for better price outside eBay
Sometimes I ask buyer to call me and provide a contact no when they message to buy item

Sometimes buyers see item and ask to collect,after they have collected sometimes cash I end the listing


They say they can suspend account for this? Anyone have any experience and what should I not too. Obviously will stop selling outside eBay if they contact via eBay to do so but sometimes the Listing itself has contact no in the description and they buyer calls and text to make a deal outside eBay. Should I remove contact no and email in item description ? It's good sometimes if they just want bit more info on item

Yes, they can and often will. Its a risk and ebay looses fees. So they dont allow it. Putting contact info in the listing is not a good Idea.

There are lots of ads on eBay with a contact no in the description ?

You honestly cannot worry about other peoples sales and listings. They will get caught sooner or later.

There are people who can sell hundreds of counterfeits but others cant even get away with one.

Just best to follow the rules.
