Is there a way ?

[bracek]

to get the e-bay sellers contact info,
e-mail to start conversation about listed item.

I would like to have an option to negotiate a price and method of purchase offline,
to arrange meeting in person.
I have no means of making a payment of order of around 3000 usd,
nor would I be comfortable doing such transactions through any third parties


if somebody knows ways of (cough, cough) "getting" the contact info
please send me a PM

thanx for the idea

i have a several of "mine" ideas

to buy the cheapest item of that same seller, to get in contact for bigger value and future buys

or
if someone puts a "make offer" option
than there could be a way to get the info in parts, by posting multiple too small offers that are being rejected with comments

but all that sometimes is not enough...

There's nothing stopping an ebay merchant from putting their contact information up on their page, right?  So if they don't post that info, doesn't that kind of indicate they don't necessarily want to be contacted?

This peer-reviewed reputation system might help for this (down the road).  I think how it would work is for me to add an annotation stating that yes, I bought from the eBay with the seller profile "blahblah" and the invoice showed the following company name, address, phone, email, etc.   Think of linking an ebay seller id with a company profile on Jigsaw.com, for instance.

one could argue that you see only those sellers that are not posting contact info

If there's only one person you're seeking contact information about, and send me the listing number, I'll see what I can to do to pull what you desire out of my ass.
