        So you MEAN that every time  I sell something from my website or
from my shop that I have listed in my  Ebay store I am contravening Ebay rules
????  BS !  I will  continue to sell my products any way I see fit that
suits my customers  needs.  It is my business not theirs.  Something fishy
with this whole story thread !

against
eBay rules. Only doing a transaction outside  of eBay for items LISTED ON
eBay is prohibited.

Now having said  that, I think, unless they are a power seller or someone
with a great,  absolutely stellar reputation, I wouldn't buy from them via
their own  website. If they won't list an auction for you to purchase it
from, the  only other thing I would recommend is that _IF_ you do buy from
their  website, make sure to use PayPal so that you're protected if
something
happens.<<<<<<<<<
