Anyone else notice that ebay has changed the way you send messages to and from buyers? There used to be an option that allowed you to send a message with your real email address in the return field. Not any more.
Now they assign you an anonymous email address, like this one:
[email protected]
And don't try to attach high resolution pictures, as there is a 2MB size limit and they will bounce back, eventually.
I am sure this is all just an effort to protect the privacy of the seller and the buyer and has nothing to do with ebay limiting any off-ebay transactions.
Also, there seems to be a significant delay between the time you send a message this way, and the time it arrives, making me think there is some sort of filtering happening, possibly flagging certain keywords which might indicate a transaction that is against the rules.
It seems that certain messages never get through, and you don't even get notified.
