Hey,

Here’s the basic format of the eBay TOS violation spoof email I receive every week.  Do yourself a favour and don’t click the link, if you do you open yourself up to a world of aggravation and suffering. 

The link leads you to an ‘Authentic’ eBay sign in page that is used to steal your username, password, and anything else they can get from you.

Even though the email looks authentic you should never sign in through an email link.  Instead close your email program, sign into eBay through a new browser window and check your eBay messages.  If the email isn’t there it’s a spoof.
