    ebay only ever send 3 types of email

    1 - you owe us money pay now - ignore them goto ebay by typing www.ebay.co.uk and check your account status for real , dont click on the frikin link in the email!!

    2 - invoice ,same as above

    3 - free listing days - woot

    really all you have too do to protect your self is never click on the links in the emails and only login into ebay through your browser as normal, same goes to all paypal, bank etc emails

    that said my dad despte being told a gazillion times only went and fell for a "become a powerseller" scam email didnt he the muppet , luckily i found out straight away and promptly changed his password.
