Welp I finally got my first ebay email.
At first I was like, woah what did I do? Why am I going to be suspended? No where in the email said anything about whats wrong. I went to ebay by opening a new browser and logged into my account. dont see anything wrong, then I realized hey wait this could be one of those stupid fake emails.
And indeed it was, the sad thing was it wasn't even executed right... after carefully reading it there is a "to resolve this issue, click here" but the click here wasn't HTML at all!
there was also an attached text file that was suppose to be the HTML file for the fake ebay page.. but that didn't even come through okay.
oh well. lame guy. I found his actual email address and emailed him, attaching his infos and telling him: "Stop it"
I can see how people can get trick easily if they dont read carefully though and just click in the email and log on the fake ebay site.
grr to those people out there.
I wonder how do they get our emails.
they could be fellow ebay uesrs too. or a past customer... or seller.. *shrug*

Best thing to do is forward these mails to Ebay and let them deal with it.
I'm sure that their legal team looks into these.
The best way to get these guys canned is to present the evidence to someone with clout!

tomyou is SO right. Never respond to these jerks. They can then get into your system which is what they really want to do.

The email address to forward this to is [email protected]. Any seller who uses his email address as his username on ebay will get a warning message with forwarding information whenever they revise an auction. I had to revise 9 auctions the other night to get rid of the AW checkout and the message showed up on the submit page.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.
