Ebay help/ A scam?

Scam.

First, the address isn't to the eBay site.

Second, you can log into your account from anywhere and there's no problem. I use my eBay account from two different locations daily. People with AOL and other accounts get a different ip number each time they log in.

If you're worried, change your eBay password. It's a good thing to change your password regularly anyway. Once it's changed, no one could access it with the old password.

"... one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a foreign IP address by a third party without your authorization." This statement is stupid. How would eBay have any idea that a third party logged in, and, if there was a third party, how would eBay have any clue that you didn't give permission to this third party. The only way eBay could know you didn't give permission would be if you told them you didn't give permission or if eBay can read your mind.

The last and second to last paragraphs of the email contradict each other. One says they know that a third party logged in. The next paragraph says they don't know that a third party logged in.

Last, who cares about "attempts to log in." Attempts to log in means the person doesn't have the password to log in, which is exactly what you want. "Attemped to log in but didn't have correct password" is the equivallent to "attempted to run marathon but passed out from exhaustion after 300 yards."
