Looks real but was NOT in my Ebay inbox.......................

Trev

I forwarded it to ebay and they said the message was in fact sent by them.

Shoot, I deleted this thinking it was spam. If it's real, does someone have a link to where you sign up? I'll take free eBay money any day!

I received it as well, but wasn't sure if I'd trust it, even with a thumbs up from spoof@ebay.com.

Then again, I use BigCrumbs, so I get $ back no matter what.

I thought it was fake as well, and did not click it. I guess I will have to go back and use it. Hopefully I did not delete it.

I've seen a logo for ebay bucks on the site but can't remember where I saw it.....I've also deleted the message I originally received and have sent a message to ebay to verify if this is a real deal or what....anyone else get any feedback???? I'd hate to miss an opportunity to earn even small amount of benefits..

I received it in my eBay inbox so it is legit.
