Go up one level in this thread


  Also, email addresses are not available on eBay, unless you
>actually complete a sale with the person.

using the Ebay system one member can contact another without knowing their email
address.they only have to be a current member and  know your Ebay name.

they will send you a message through Ebay and not even see your email addy
this would seem to be the case here as you mentioned it was from Ebay that he
contacted you
only when you contacted him back did he see your email addy for the first
time(assuming he used the Ebay System)

here is the Ebay Link to do that
i used your name and i could then have sent you a message
http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

the member contacting you can also elect to have his email addy hidden from you

however this does not expalin how he came to know your interest in the Tasc
that could only have been learned from reading your postings
while i do not recall you mentioning your interest in the Tasc here i cannot say
i remember everyone of your posting

Best
Steve
