Had a similar email this morning too, thats 2 emails this week, there seems to be another one doing the rounds, (a little different to the usual "your account details need updating, click here" ), which i ALMOST fell for, it's quite good as it takes you by suprise a little, especially if you are an Ebayer, it goes like this...

 

Dear eBay member ,

 

Yes, i can ship to your location, and i accept escrow for payment.

 

 

Please respond to the question on eBay by clicking the button below. You'll have the option to display your response directly on the listing.

 

Thank you,

This actually comes in the form of a proper ebay question, but i got a little bit sus when i thought, hang on, i haven't asked any questions!!

Checked the ebay member, and lo and behold, "no longer a registered user".

Reported it to ebay, but just to warn others, its a different tactic, this time, so please be careful.

Just checked the e-mail, and after listing the item, I've found someone's bought it. However, am I to preume this is a wind up?

It's a con Alex....whatever you do, don't reply to the e-mail, otherwise you will hassled for evermore. When these e-mails first started circulating, I didn't realise they were a con, and replied, and this a***h*** kept hounding me for ages, until I managed to get him put on my spam list, and the e-mails were deleted.
