I had this happen to me twice recently - both on high dollar items. On one, the spoof asked me to send payment to Texas, even though the seller stated in his auction that he is in California. Oops.

Fortunately, I know someone who works at ebay and she forwarded the information directly to her contact in the fraud department. Unfortunately, the person who contacted me from the fraud department did so after 2 weeks and did not want any more of the information that I was willing to give her (like email and physical addresses).

Does not give me much confidence in the ebay spoof investigations. It looks like, as far as Ebay is concerned, buyer beware.
