Did Ebay send You This email?

[Archive]

Posted By: Tony Galovich

I recently posted a inquiry on here for a phone # for Ebay
I emailed them & asked for a phone # & they flat told me NO way Jose
They only deal with you via email as they are a internet based company

Now I get a email from them & they send me a toll free # for customer service if i need help & tell me I'm one of their prized members (I"m not)
Did anyone else get such a email?

But I do plan on calling them with multiple suggestions on trying to clean up the sportcards listings on ebay

yes they did, if you get an email within your "My eBay" and your regular email then the message is legit and use the number they gave you. This is really the only way they work so they know there talking with ebay store owners and sellers.

Today, I recieved the best scam e-mail so far. It was advertising 33% off listing fees. The e-mail was very professionally done. It didn't explicitly ask you to log on but the law of averages suggests that people will log on through this bogus webpage to take advantage of the 33% discount and they'll be screwed.
