Posting email content from private parties Grounds for Immediate Post Removal or other action •Posting email content from private parties. This refers to the text of emails sent to you from some other person. Do not post emails or text from emails that other people have sent you. People make posts when they want to share their words with the larger community. When people send email, we should assume that they only intend the recipient(s) to read it and should respect the other person's privacy. Traditional netiquette frowns on making email communication public. Posting emails can result in accidentally including otherwise prohibited information such as names of others. eBay email to members is generally instructional in nature and sharing such "official" information can be very valuable. Members can continue to post the text from email they themselves receive from eBay - or, in cases where members receive email that "appears" to be from eBay when in fact it is not. We agree that this should still be allowed, and will not enforce this rule against such use (unless the posting of such email violates other policies, such as discussion or reposting of removed posts). It is mail from others that members should not post. If a situation arises where one feels one needs to see the original email to help, say with a problem between a buyer and seller, where one of the parties is asking advice, we'd recommend members ask the questioner to forward the email to them so they can help in solving the problem.
