Posted By: DavidI didn't get that one. But a few days ago I got one they said I had bid auctions I didn't bid on, and if the bids were inaccurate that I should contact eBay. My guess is that it was an ant-eBayer hoping to get people to complain to eBay and clog their complaint lines. They obviously underestimated my laziness.
