Reply to "Only AS? or should I put a bid in directly first?"

Greetings all,
In response to the inquiry about contacting a seller with offer to deal outside of eBay...
My advice is - don't.

Not only do you give up what little protection up have for nonperformance by your seller, you also violate your agreement with eBay and can be suspended. (maybe even permanently)
I know it's done all the time, but is it really worth the chance.

I've had success in asking a seller to re-list with a private one day auction using "buy it now" option at our predetermined price.

AS RULES!!!
