Oh, the irony.
Does anybody even look at ANY email from eBay or PayPal anymore? I just sh!t-can it all. Plooey. DeleteDeleteDelete.
If they want me, they know my snailmail address.
Did what lordmarcovan suggests...dumped the whole thing in the can!
If eBay really wanted to get a hold of me they can catch me when I log in.
