They should restore it then. The alternatives are responding which only results in escalation. I have tried this method before. "Please do not contact me" or "If you keep on sending unsolicited messages i will report you to Ebay", "you have no intention of buying this item, please do not contact me again". It's like pushing a dog, the dog pushes back. "i'm reporting you for ripping people off" "You're price gauging" etc. Then there are the more colorful responses I won't post here. Thing is Ebay monitors how quickly we respond. They don't publish this but trust in that it factors into how our listings perform, it's part of the algorithm. I most definitely do not need to be given links to competitors, especially when the competitor is the one who sent the link to their own listing.
