Knowing ebay NEVER askes for personal info we forwarded it to the Trust and Safety dept. The response.. Did not come from them and was a "spoof" email attempting to get our personal account info including pay pal account and password etc.. They are now looking into it and take this form of fraud very seriously.
If you recieve this email DO NOT ANSWER IT. Foward to ebay Trust and Security.

Solution to SPAM

SUBMITTED: Monday, March 15, 2004
All you have to do is send emails of this nature to Spoof@ebay.com. It's just like the spam on AOL and it is NOT from Ebay. I get them a lot and just send to ebay.. they respond thanking me for sending.
Hope this helps you!!!!
