New eBay Scam Alert!

I got the following e-mail today and thought it might be a good idea to share it with you:

This looked just like a normal "ask seller a question" e-mail that I am sure all of you who sell on eBay are used to seeing.

Hello again,
I won the mustang speaker grilles & asked you about shipping on the door reflector covers, thanks for the reply. Then, I saw these, do you have another set available in the satin finish ? & how much ?
Thanks,
Jerry

Yet another scam from Russia. I did not click on the button or reply in any way, but I do plan on sending this to eBay.image

    I sent one in with the same ebay ID as yours. Mine was concerning a set of golf clubs, though image

    Just use "Myebay" and you're basically safe from these scams.

    Good advice. I do not respond to anything I get related to eBay by e-mail anymore.
