  I got one like it as well. They're phishing for your user name and password. Good advice on checking your account!

  How much for that one

  One of these days, these guys will figure out how to exactly time their email with the ending of an auction for something you won. Best to conduct all business on the ebay site itself.

  I got one that said there was a problem with my account activity. I was directed to a link that asked for my credit card #. Of course, I never answered them, but it sure did look official.

  I get a couple of these "pfishing" scams a week. Just forward them to spoof@paypal.com or Spoof@ebay.com as appropriate.

  I'm the Proud recipient of a genuine "you suck" award dated 1/24/05. I was accepted into the "Circle of Trust" on 3/9/09.

  I put it all in the junk folder, then report it as spam. It has pretty much stopped showing up in my email account.
  
  I used to report this crap to spoof@ebay, but they care about Fraud and Phishing scams about as much as my ex- wife cared about our sex life.

  I agree. Doing business while at the site is the way to go.

  All glory is fleeting.
