...ebay strengthened the seller position by removing that completely.

...anyway, this was a way for SELLERS to HIDE potential buyer contact info so they could NOT be contacted.

...eBay really has a "hollow" buyer AND seller protection program.

...albeit, I buy quite a few things and sell a few things thru their venue. I just try to be extra careful doing both.

...don't know if this helps for a better understanding, but hope it does.

...CURRENTLY, it does NOT benefit a seller at all and is really useless.

News to me, thanks
