i see. I would be pretty peeved being treated that way. Unfortunately, they do have too much power.
Good luck with what ever you choose to do.

ebay does state " ebay users are not allowed to complete sales or purchases outside of ebay, or to request that a sale be completed outside of ebay." Since you're not really an ebay user, this doesn't necessarily apply to you. However, several dealers I've found on ebay list the same merchandise on their own corporate sites as well, often for 10-15% less than the prices shown on ebay. Unless I have an active ebay Bucks promotion, I'll buy from the dealer directly. Frankly, ebay's policy doesn't have any teeth. Edit to add: You could PM the CCF member to inquire. From what I see on ebay, sellers have the option to end a listing because "the item is no longer available". The seller may take some risk in doing that, but they wouldn't lose money in ebay or PayPal fees (if you pay by some other means). That said, it's still the seller's choice how to continue.

Xavierofgreen, with that many posts it must be okay to do but just to clarify this can be done without violating ccf policy

I have done business with several ccf members on here that have items on ebay. Usually I can get them a bit cheaper if I contact them directly, they then can remove the item listing on ebay and sell it to me without having to deal with ebay fees. This way the seller doesn't have to do fees and I get a bit of a better deal. It's a win win for both parties. |

Anthony You need reach a certain number of posts on CCF to sell or link items for sale. The rules are here: http://goccf.com/t/221419Quote:

Send an email through the PM system inquiring about the item. It can't hurt.

if you contact them through eBays message portal it could cause trouble for the seller (and buyer) account
if you contact them here then it's really none of eBays business (unless there are bids on the items already and the seller cancels the auction to sell direct)

Even if you do a transaction with a CCF member, you're going to have to figure out how to transfer money unless you are bartering/trading. PayPal and Venmo are good options. Most big banks (like BoA) now allow you to send money to friends in a similar fashion to PayPal.

Payment is not generally the problem. Paypal charges 2.8%. ebay charges 10%. Avoiding the ebay fee is generally incentive enough to do the deal outside of ebay if you have reason to trust the person. |

However, if you search by CCF member ebay sales, my items do not show up because I have not reached the 250 minimum quality posts required to "sell" in the forum. I see no "violation" of forum rules by a CCF member contacting me about an item listed for sale on ebay outside of the system. If I were to receive an acceptable offer from a CCF member for an item I had for sale on ebay, I would sell to the CCF member and remove my listing from ebay. |
