I got one of these tonight:

There is a delay in your automatic payment of eBay fees. You can pay us manually...

Yeah, yeah. I've got loads of spoofs lately so I forwarded it to spoof@ebay.co.uk
Then I read the rest of it:

"Please follow these steps to make a payment:
- Go to the eBay Home page
- Select My eBay and logon with your eBay User ID and Password
- Select the Accounts Tab
- Select an option to Pay Your eBay Seller Fees (you will need to logon again)"


and I think, scammers probably wouldn't ask me to do that.

:embarrassed:

If there was another link in the email it was probably a scam. I have received emails with that info but they have a fake link that goes somewhere other than ebay.

I have gotten that message before. It is real. It usually appears when eBay trys to run your monthly fees through the CC you have proviced, but the card has expired.

I just logged on and added a new card, all while on eBay's secure server. Did you get a responce from Spoof@ebay.com telling you that it was from them? LOL

Yes. They were polite about it. :)
