Thank you,

It has all the "typical" looking ebay logos and print but, of course, takes you to a sign in page.

If you haven't seen this mail before do NOT ever follow the links and sign in to ebay from it

For others here is the return path of my actual mail recieved:

That is one and the same user who "phished" me a couple months ago, with that identical message. In a moment of stupidity, with my guard down, I clicked the link in the email (even though I knew better). The item being "questioned" about was a laptop computer, as I recall, and certainly not one of my items. This caught me at a time when I actually had some items up on eBay, which is rare for me these days.

Fortunately I realized immediately that I'd been had, so I changed my PayPal and eBay passwords right away, and there was no harm done, as far as I can tell. I had used the same eBay password for seven years. I went to a much more complicated one that's harder to type, and I still find myself trying to type the old one in sometimes.

If ever in doubt about an ebay email check your messages on your "my ebay" page. If it's legit a copy will be in your messages.

If you don't have any sales going on, you know its fake. If you do, another quick check is looking up the item number in the message to see if its one of yours.

Of course if your registered name isn't there, even though the message intro says it is, you know you're being phished!

I HATE that!
I get that at least once a month, weather I have auctions going on or not.

I use to get these sort of mails a lot. The last few months not very many.

Most of us know to not clik the links and log in but I posted for any new folks here, as a heads up.

you should immediately forward all these types of emails to spoof@ebay.com

They say they will go after them and shut them down. Whether they do or not.......

newbiecollector

I always forward them. I agree, I don't know if they do (or can do) much about them, but I send them anyway
