    I got this message the other day when I was attempting to contact
    the high bidder on one of my auctions WTF?
    I just wanted to make sure this joker with 6 negative feed-
    backs out of ten total was a serious bidder...
    Is that so wrong?

    That's really weird, I haven't had that happen to me yet and I just contacted a handful of buyers who I didn't have any ongoing transactions with.

    The weirdest part about it was that Ebay would let me contact other members with
    whom I'd never been in a transaction with, but not a member who was currently the
    high bidder on one of my active auctions!? Maybe it was just some crazy glitch...
