What is this??? Did I do something wrong or the other person?? I dam not quite sure what this is about? Never had a mail like this from eBay yet.
Can anyone shed light?

The other person in the transaction has requested your details.

eBay to make it fair give both parties the others contact details.

Make sure the number is active as some people will report a non working telephone number.

The buyer wanted to phone you up or contact you directly. This has been an available option for years from ebay - request contact info. Nothing new.

[swiss61]

Oh right, so this is nothing to worry about?

This buyer has been very creepy .. sending me messages after messages and asked questions about every single item I am selling on eBay. I actually blocked him frmYou live and you learn as the road that lies ahead turns bidding on anymore items now.

[rsot]

Well it's nothing to worry about IF your buyer is not some prude. Make sure your e-mail and phone work and handle him in a polite customer service fashion.

Has he won anything from you? If so - ship quickly with tracking then (think about) popping his bidding username into your blocked bidder list ha if he is such a hassle.

Ha ha ha .. I already did.
Yes he bought one item off me and since been harassing me with messages and bids on
everything that I sell and then retracts his bids. Well, he did until i blocked him but on the block you can see he still tries to bid.

Sent item off and sent him tracking number. He is abroad so hope he gets item soon and then leaves me ..

Can I just ask one more question please; can a buyer actually find out my address without having asked me for it?! And I don't mean through this Information request but just in general?!
