I have come across a scam on eBay designed to steal your user id. Watch out for fake listings which don't take you to an item description but to a sign-in page asking for your id and password. Don't sign in because this is not an eBay page.  I saw 2 listings today for Swarovski binoculars which were fake - fortunately eBay has now removed them.
