End of rant.

I don't do anything with ebay emails to my email account. The only ones I do respond to or for that matter read are the ones in ebay messages. (for other's education that might not deal with ebay). Once you open ebay and sign in there is a "messages" area.



I do the same with any notifications from my bank, phone, and most other accounts. Why? Because I have seen fake emails from ebay and other accounts in the past that looked like the real thing was written in a similar fashion to authentic emails.

The fake email always wanted me to follow a link and log in to my account. This would give the scammer access as well. 73 Mike
