I have been a member in good standing with eBay since 1999. As readers
of Sam's Laser FAQ are probably aware, I have acquired a large number
of
lasers and related items on eBay, most at bargain basement prices. All
in
all I have been very satisfied with the eBay experience. Until now.

For a blow-by-blow saga of what I'm experiencing now, please go to

http://repairfaq.cis.upenn.edu/Misc/ebayhorror1.htm

I will be updating this as it plays out. I expect the outcome to be
satisfactory, but the route it's taking is like one of those nightmares
where you're trapped on a 15 dimensional mobius strip.

Comments welcome!

Hi Sam,

Well I have gotten a lot of those my self however I don't have an Ebay
account (LOL)
I am afraid that you have gotten caught by the Ebay Proxy letter. It is
sent
with the intent
to be able to intercept your PayPal username and password that gives the
sender the chance
to empty your account....

You should change your password right now!!! but other wise ignore it
as
Ebay did not send it. I could tell you for sure if I had a copy of your
letter ( The first one ).

Has anyone actually read what I wrote in the linked page?

Every email I received from eBay was also present in "My Messages" on
"My eBay". And my account had indeed been suspended *before* I contacted
eBay about this mess.

Now is it possible I replied to some email awhile ago that triggered this?
I suppose it's possible, but highly unlikely.

This was not a phishing scheme, at least not one from outside eBay.

Yes,
I did read your post, And yes it is a phishing scheme, and yes it is
caused by one of
your own sellers that did it!!! I have bin on the wrong end of this one
before ( 2001-2003 ).
its very complicated I can explain this one to you ( not in a news group )
