Just a note of warning.
Yesterday I receivied an email from "Ebay Security". Looked very official telling me I had to reconfirm my account. The email stated this was a normal practice to reconfirm accounts randomly for everyone's safety. Hey, even had all the Ebay symbols and trademarks.
I hit the line to go into it and had to log in to my Ebay account. Seems normal. Just like I do every day. Next screen asked me to reconfirm my credit card information. RED FLAG went up so I closed the email and sent it to "spoof@Ebay.com. Sure enough, Ebay had no knowledge of the email. I immediately changed my password in Ebay.

P.S. You can ignore all those previous warnings that you should never respond to e-mails that begin "Dear Ebay member." We have changed our policy to state that you should ALWAYS respond to such e-mails, and have no fear about giving up your financial information. Ebay would never allow anyone to empty your bank account or max out your credit card with fraudulent purchases. That would be illegal.
P.P.S We would appreciate it if you could pay off as much of your CC balance as possible, so there is plenty of available credit, before clicking on the link below and providing your information. Have a nice day!
