I read back a few weeks that eBay, knows more, and more deals are ending off there site. They said they were going to charge you the finalization fee based on when you end it. It's seems they are now asking you if, in fact you did this off eBay. I can see people getting tossed if they end to many auctions in say a short period.
I have not seen that, but then I again I don't make offers for offline transactions or reply favorably to them when I get them. But I have heard of eBay monitoring communication for awhile for just this type of thing. I don't blame them a bit, frankly. There is no reason why they should idly stand by and let people conduct transactions using their platform without getting compensated for it.
If someone has a BIN w/o best offer, and it's higher than I'm willing to pay I'll send a general message stating:
Hi, are you interested in moving this card for $X? I'm willing to pay by any method you're comfortable with".
Hopefully they can pick up on the idea that I'm willing to pay direct. But if they aren't comfortable with I feel like it doesn't sound like I'm specifically asking them to sell off eBay. Hopefully that would keep me protected.
