eBay is not set up for trades.

eBay makes their money when things are paid for with one of the many accepted payment methods.

I would actually cease communication with this user before eBay A1 thinks you two are trying to take the transaction off eBay.

Hi @bbcards66

You cannot trade items on eBay. What you can do is list your item, the other member lists his item, and you each buy the other seller's item.

That's the only way you can stay within policy.

Hope that helps!
