Sounds dodgy. There is a link somewhere on the abay site that you can use to report scam emails etc.

If you get a genuine message from a member, the heading will say "Message From (SENDER NAME) to (YOUR MEMBER NAME).

If the title does not contain your Ebay member ID, you'll know it's a fraud - copy the properties and report it to Ebay's fraud section.............for what it's worth (!)

Then delete it immediately.....

Any eMail I get from eBay I do not open it at all. I use Outlook 2003 to read my eMail BUT do not open it. I go to my e-Bay website and go to My eBay. That will show you any legit eMail you received...... FOSMAN
