Paypal oddity

[Gamereviewgod]

I won two items from eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5222793300

He wouldn't send me an invoice until I told him how I was going to pay by Paypal. He responded with a Paypal invoice. I clicked on the link to pay with a seemingly ok URL, but the only thing there was to put in my password. No eBay ID, Paypal ID, nothing. Just the Paypal header, some text saying to log in, and a box to enter it. It doesn't seem right to me. I e-maled him to send a money order so I'll see what comes of it.

If it is something to nab people's passowrds, they're getting daring. Just be careful. I could just be paranod too, but it just doesn't seem right to me.

The easies way to deal with this would be to get a total from them, and the email address there PayPal account is under. Then you could go to PayPal and log in the normal way and send the correct total to them without clicking on there emailed link. That way you would be 100% sure it is not a phishing scam.

What was the url?

Never type your password into anything like that, they are definitely password stealers, my friend sent me a very fine example of one the other day, it was an exact replica of eBay's log in page.

Sometimes I fill in bullshit info when I recive stuff like that hehe. But are you sure you got this mail from the seller? Check were the mail came from and what url it uses. If the seller tried to steal your password you must report it. Sound strange tho, the seller have high rating.
