Recently there have been alot of people that will get emails that appear to be from ebay saying there are issues with your account. If you get such a email, do no click on the link in the email, instead copy and paste it to see if it's legit.

yeah, thats been happening a lot. From this other forum that I belong to, a warning was sent out a while ago regarding all of that. Including steps to follow and so forth (If I remember right). Let me dig that out, then I'll copy and paste it here.

I got one that told me I needed to give passwords to my ebay account as well as my paypal account. It looked very legit. But I refuse to give people anything online as far as passwords go.

Paypal will NEVER provide a link to anything.

They will direct you to go to the page, log into your account and then make changes.

Also e-bay and paypals e-mails will begin with your name, if the e-mail begins with dear member or something like that its fraud

if you get emails like that, forward them to ebay and paypal, spoof@ebay.com and spoof@paypal.com

don't edit or touch the email in anyway, just forward as is.
