When selling iPhone is it safe to give out imei?

[Janders91]

for example if you are selling a used iPhone on eBay and a eBay user messages and asks for the imei is it safe to give them this information?

I know this is used to check the activation status of a phone and stuff but is there anything potentially bad someone could do with this information?
