While there is a developer API for eBay, including Perl, PHP, Python,
etc. interfaces, according to their web site:
You cannot retrieve an email address for any user with whom you do not
have a transactional relationship, regardless of site.
Email is only returned for applicable calls when you are retrieving
your own user data OR when you and the other user are in a
transactional relationship and the call is being executed within a
certain amount of time after the transaction is created. Based on
Trust and Safety policies, the time is unspecified and can vary by site.
RegistrationAddress Privacy Policy
eBay always returns complete RegistrationAddress details (including
Phone) when you retrieve your own user data. RegistrationAddress for
another user (except for Phone) is only returned if you have a
transactional relationship with that user AND that user is registered
on DE/AT/CH, regardless of your registration site and the site to
which you send the request.
So, unless you have a "transactional relationship" going on, no one
ought to be able to retrieve your email address. If you do have an
active relationship, then they can retrieve your email address.
