Transaction interference
Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Mary has found the perfect dinner set for a party she wishes to host at her brand new home. Unfortunately, the auction-style listing will not end for another 6 days and the party is this weekend! Mary decides to e-mail the seller directly with an offer to buy the dinnerware immediately and directly from the seller and obtain overnight shipping for the item. By e-mailing the seller directly with an offer to purchase, Mary is in violation of the Transaction interference policy. To report a violation of eBay’s Transaction interference policy:
eBay has this policy in order to protect the community from potentially fraudulent transactions which are more likely to occur outside of eBay. Remember: if the seller offers to sell you the item directly without bidding on or winning the item on eBay, this is a violation of eBay policy and you will lose the benefit of eBay purchase protection programs. Please report it to us immediately. Contact Customer Support
