I've only seen reports of receiving the info via email.

If anyone has gotten the message [B]in their eBay account[B], please chime in.

If it is a fake, then it is a pretty big coincidence that all of the pwcc_vault listings are being systematically removed as we speak. Over 2,500 in the last 20 minutes and still dropping steadily.

This is starting to feel like when Jerry McGuire got fired.

UGG. This is spam. Not in our ebay messages. Wants you to click a link if you have concerns about a recent purchace. Don't.

No longer any active items listed for PWCC. From 18,000 a few hours ago to zilch.

So they did take down all the active auctions as well, WOW! I was wrong in thinking they may just let the auctions run their course to not upset so many bidders. That would kind of made Ebay look like they were doing a last money grab on commisions from those auction sales though, so maybe best they just pull the plug on everything.

ebay must see the writing on the wall, honestly.

sports cards are still booming (relatively, even during this dip) and people dont want to pay all of the associated ebay fees, and i think they are crying out for an alternative.

myslabs hasnt really taken off yet, but they seem to be making progress. there are a bunch of other outlets, but ebay still gets the most eyes. if a bunch of the big players start to leave ebay, its going to take a big chunk out of ebay revenue.

also, you have to immediately kind of walk this back to nat turner's group buying goldin, and people theorizing that they wanted to turn goldin into a true competitor for ebay for cards, not just for more high end stuff. that sale happened like 6 weeks ago, and seems pretty prescient now.

big changes are coming, it seems.

It's like "true confessions." As much as I hate PWCC and all they do for the hobby every now and then I buy something from them. I don't think I got shilled too badly?
