[QUOTE] Only during an auction or after the auction if you won the item . If you go to the original item 270144340063, click on the sellers name, select contact user, fill in the form and enter the anti spam caption, ebay still blocks your message because you are not buying from, potentially buying from or selling to that user. It does when I tried it anyway. [/QUOTE] Odd, because it works for me! Just contacted the original (genuine) seller. Were you logged in?
