How to find out another users email address?
 

Is it possible to find out the email address of another user to contact him off eBay?

It is a pain as ebay does not allow to send a message which includes an email address via their own messaging service within eBay.

I do it like this first you cant use any normal email personal domains work best example sales at discoducks dot com or if you have to use regular like yahoo or g mail example ebayfivver at G and dont forget the MAIL dot com . Most people get that but not all .

Example simple at YAH plus OO dot com

Usually works i also do this sometimes simple at y1a1h1o1o1 dot com please take out the ones (1)

Sucks but most get it

this is the easiest option. i've also asked for mobiles before and texted people.

Can ask him for e-mail address split out like other posters have indicated.

If you have had transactions in the past with the person, you can request for contact information

Careful with any such endeavour.

Make sure the user is reliable and not the type to report you to ebay.

Handle with care approach here.

:ranger:

ask them to send their phone number and call them. thats what i do these days.

you get to speak to them
answer any questions
can give assurance and confidence to the buyer
usually ends in a sale
stops you taking risks
there are so many reasons asking for phone numbers is a good idea.
