In defense of EBays claims - I have gotten a lot of the following phishing-type e-mails lately.
they all have a few links on them where you would click and log-in at some spoof site and I guess
from there they get your PayPal info maybe. I forward them to PayPal or EBay when I get them.
I don't like any bidders ID hidden so I don't support the new rule but they do have a problem
that it appears they are trying to address.

Marketplace Safety Tip
Second Chance Offer emails with the subject of "message from eBay Member" are fake. Real Second Chance Offers
come directly from eBay and also appear in My Messages with a subject stating "You have a second chance offer...".
Never pay for your eBay item using instant case wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram.
These payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you don't know. Learn more about sending payments.
