    Possibly but I think you could argue selling outside of eBay isn't a "listing" policy, the links don't mention anything about trading outside of eBay (at a quick glance I couldn't see it).

    Being a consumer contract it has to be clear, an omission can be classed as misleading.

    They should specifically state if the purchase is made outside of eBay the offer doesn't apply should they wish to try and impose this charge in such a situation.

    Actually if you go through their policies then exchanging information and/or selling outside of ebay is against their published t and cs.

    Immaterial anyway as I doubt anyone would take this to court.
