I disagree with this. eBay is a public forum, and the purpose of
doing business in a public forum is to leave a trail behind all
transactions. I think it is entirely proper to contact former buyers
and sellers, particularly if there was a problem.
FWIW, in my business, it is standard operating procedure to check out
your trading partners - financial statements, references, impressions
of their customers and even competitors. In an open environment,
business becomes much easier.
