Ebay is coming out with a new email system that prevents bidders and sellers
communicating directly, email has to be sent to ebay and then they forward

They're trying to end the awful practice of the seller completing a
transaction with a high bidder when the reserve price isn't reached.
There's an easy way around that. Instead of having cute "handles" or
nicknames, use your *real* e-mail address as your name when you list
something. You can also list your e-mail address directly in the text you
post.
I've always been 'garth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' on eBay. Can't see why people
shouldn't be able to contact me directly, and I'm more than willing to put
up with the few d*ckheads that'll undoubtedly abuse it.
