No I'm not getting anything like that on eBay. Don't enter your info whatever you do. Sounds like you've hit a phishing site... or even worse your computer has been hijacked by a virus or something.

Phishing...no site or no one, should ever ask for your PIN.

No way that's legit. Be careful. As others have stated sounds like something has grabbed hold of your computer.

DON'T DO IT! Call ebay. Tell them what's going on. Let them instruct you on how to proceed. Get the name of the person you talk to and make sure they notate this incident in their records.

thanks for all the responses,after posting this, i logged on to paypal & also had the same thing going on.then, i knew it was a virus.so i restarted my computer & went to another computer. i had an email from ebay that my acct. was compromised/pswd scrambled by ebay,so i changed my ebay password on that computer and when i went back to the other computer there was a trojan virus alert & that it was removed. so i changed pwds at paypal too. thanks again!

Sorry to hear about your issues. I was getting these (and more crap) last year. Have since switched to a Mac and have NO problems whatsoever. Just surf the net, do my work, and move on.

As always, the scammers can't construct a sentence properly. ("There is no charges will be placed on card.") That is always a good clue.

At a bank, paypal or ebay site, a good test of legitimacy is to type in a wrong password. Only the legitimate site will know it's bad and will ask you to retype it. The fake sites won't know your password and will assume what you typed in is correct.
