Three times in the last two days, I have tried to contact a seller about an item - they respond - and then when I try to respond back, I get this message "This auction has already closed or has been deleted.
If the auction closed normally and was not deleted you can click here to review it's details." You click there, and there are no details.
Now there is no way for me to get back to the seller - that question & contents has disappeared completely (not even in MyEbid), and I have to go back & do a search for the item or seller again.
It would be far more efficient once contact is made to be able to email back & forth freely It's unlikely that anyone here is trying to circumvent fees - I'm certainly not and it's in everyone's interest to see Ebid succeed. I mean, even ebay allows email addresses in your listings.
Just my 2 cents.
