F**king EBay! They're getting worse!
Just found a bike on ebay that I like the look of, but I want a bit more information about it before I bid. So I click on the 'Ask Seller a Question' button, type in the questions I have and click 'Send', Simple.
But rather than forwarding my reasonable request, ebay have chosen to direct me to this page:
I know I don't have an open transaction with them dcikheads
I want some more info before I engage in said transaction
As for thanking me for understanding, don't bother, because I don't
But rather than forwarding my reasonable request, ebay have chosen to direct me to this page:
Attention!
We have determined you are trying to contact an eBay member with whom you are not currently involved in an open transaction. For the protection of the eBay community, we sometimes block these types of communication. To prevent this occurrence from happening in the future, we recommend the following:
If you are a seller, respond to all bidder questions before the auction ends.
If you are trying to contact the seller of an item that has not yet ended go to the item page and click the “Ask seller a question” link.
If you are the winning buyer of an item go to your My eBay page under the items I’ve Won section. Click the action drop down menu and choose the “contact seller” action.
If you are a seller trying to contact your wining buyer, go to My eBay and under the Items I’ve Sold section, click the action drop down menu. Choose the “contact buyer” action.
Reply to seller/bidder through personal email provider (if the sender has not hidden their email address).
Thank you for your understanding.

That generally only happens if you clicked on "contact member" rather than "ask seller a question" which would have been on the bike auction page.
If it did it on the latter, then perhaps have a bid, ask the question, then retract the bid.

Simple answer - don't use eBay.
That was not a joke, or a comment that was in some way meant to wind you up. With their greedy nature of grabbing higher and higher fees, and their poor service, I no longer use them.
