God. As Dr. Phil would say, "Do I have STUPID written on my forehead?"

Did you happen to read a little further down?
***Coming Soon: 14-Day Limit on Email Address Display***
Date: 02/08/05 Time: 09:58:17 AM PST
In our ongoing effort to help protect the Community from spoof (also referred to as phishing) and spam emails, we will be changing the duration for which email addresses are displayed on the site. Later this month, the My eBay and Member Profile features will be changed to display transaction partner email addresses for the past 14 days instead of for 90 days. You will still be able to contact your transaction partners via email for transactions going back 90 days using the Ask Seller a Question and Contact My Transaction Partner features.
For more information on how to protect yourself from spoof emails and Web sites, we encourage you to visit the Security & Resolution Center.

Stone, I don't see how that could be a bad thing. It'll hopefully cut out out SOME spamming.
And what kind of seller doesn't have a record of the buyers email address after 14 days anyway?

Since your email address is only displayed to your customers in the first place how does it stop spammers and phishers?
Unless spammers are avid Ebay buyers who forgot to get your email address the first time around I find this new feature a waste of time in the programming department.

Of course we have the bidders email but I think it will be more of a problem for BUYERS who didn't save all relevant emails at the time of purchase....... especially those who need prodding through the NPB process.
The programming team should be focusing more on the new email system they promised.
