Hi Geo,
Thanks for contributing to our forum. Since eBay no longer allows sellers to include email addressed within the descriptions of listings, many sellers have changed the Contact Us sections of the seller details profile to encourage viewers to use the “Ask a question” link at the bottom of the listing if they have any questions.
If you would like to read over the full details of this policy change that took place in Fall of 2011, you can check it out on the following page on the eBay site:
http://pages.ebay.com/sellerin.../news/links2011.htmlI was unable to find any definitive information regarding whether it is permissible to include your phone number within item descriptions, but that may very well be allowed. I recommend checking in with eBay's customer support team to confirm just to be on the safe side.
Welcome back!
-Mike
