second chance auction

Beware of e-mails containing second chance bidding. I was just scammed out of $3000 after responding to it. The e-mail looked official, and had links to the item I was bidding on. This is called phishing and eBay will not do anything if you get scammed. Never send money by Western Union, and do a LOT of research on the seller. This is apparantly very common on higher ticket items and you will never see your money again.Be careful and do your homework before buying anything expensive on eBay.
