E-Bay scam
Don't believe it if you get one of these. I don't even have the e-mail this came to linked to PayPal.
Major scam to get your info!!!

Re: E-Bay scam
I get those all the time. 
Always check the link on these types of emails, and when in doubt, go directly to the referenced website (not via the link) and check it out yourself.

I usually respond to these emails with:

Re: E-Bay scam
I haven't seen that one. The scary ones are the Paypal receipts that say $400 has been paid to so-and-so. It looks authentic.
Always open a new window and go to ebay.com or paypal.com. And yeah, the spoof email does work.
