Tom:
Both PayPal and eBay get "spoofed" a lot - nogoodniks send you emails cleverly disguised to look like legit communications from these companies, asking for details.
The way to deal with them is the same for both companies. Forward a suspected PayPal spoof to spoof@paypal.com . You will soon get an email back advising you whether the original email was legit - and it almost never is. Same with eBay - spoof@ebay.com . Just remember to FORWARD the email - don't cut and paste into a new email. Without the all-important header information from the email you received, eBay and PayPal don't have the necessary info to use in their efforts to shut down spoofers. | ||

Yes, One Knew
About this and took action at that time.
Something funny was going on one day when on eBay. Got a message both via their system and email saying the email address associated with my account had been changed. Quickly contacted eBay security and also changed it back as well as one's password. Several months ago apparently someone tried to associate themselves with my eBay account causing *me* a suspension for suspicious behavior. Took an hour on the telephone with eBay to sort that out. | ||
