Selling names on Ebay

[Kuffy]

I've just received this mail from Ebay ( which I don't use any more).

We’ve added new terms to the User Agreement to clarify that users are not permitted to complete outside of eBay any sales transactions with each other arising from items listed on the eBay platform. Offers to buy and sell or communicate outside of eBay constitute policy violations and may be subject to a range of actions including limits on buying and selling privileges as well as the application of final value fees for such transactions, the application of fees for the introduction of a seller to a buyer and the recovery of expenses for policy monitoring and enforcement. The same can result from sharing or requesting contact information with the intention to trade outside of eBay.

So I guess this means you are locked into Ebay if you list a name for sale there. I wonder what happens if the auction doesn't reach it's reserve, and you subsequently sell the name privately.

I don't think that's really anything new, they've always said not to complete sales outside of eBay that originated from their marketplace.

So it's just the inclusion of contact details on the listing page that is relevant is it?
