Recently I have noticed a lot quite a few people trying to scam ME and People Trying to Obtain My E-Mail Address .
If you have this done to you you should report it to eBay especially if they have a low feedback score.

If you are accepting payments through PayPal always be cautious when receiving an e-mail from PayPal because they are some good fakes.
A few ways of detecting fake's
(1) you will always be addressed by your full name I.E - John Smith
(2) it is highly recommended that you only send to a confirmed address.
(3) at the bottom of the e-mail page PayPal details i.e. the company address should always be in normal text
NOT Crazy Text Which Is like This (AbCdEfG) a Mixture of capital & noncapital letters..

And If You Are in Doubt of Any Payment Go Straight to Your PayPal Account and Make Sure It Is There If the Message You Receive Tells You That It Is Safe to Send Your Items and PayPal a Holding
