Posting Contact Information or another individual's Email Address Grounds for Immediate Post Removal, Board Sanction and/or eBay Suspension •Including another individual's contact information and/or email address in a post. On eBay, there is a balance between maintaining an Honest and Open Environment in which members are known and have a history within the eBay Community, and preserving an appropriate level of privacy. Certain information is available only to trading partners, and other information is openly available to anyone. Contact information means Real Name (first and last), Address, Phone or other specifically private/sensitive information such as identification numbers. The rule is intended to protect sensitive information of types that members give to eBay. Please note that posting other types of information about another may violate the Community Values, and respect the privacy of others. Easily available, general information such as city or state of residence that would be visible to other members from within item listings, user ids of other eBay accounts you may have or have had in past, or non-identifying personal details you may have shared with others is not considered "contact information". If you sign any posts with your first name, other members may address you by that name without violating the rules. It is wise to avoid posting personal details on any message boards since you may not be aware of who is reading your posts. Please note that protection of personal contact information does not in any way allow a member to be "anonymous". Members should choose a single registration with which they do all of their interaction on the Boards. Attempting to hide or fake your true identity is also a violation of both eBay policy and the Community Values.
