BEWARE of the latest scam around, you will receive an email asking one of several things, ie do you take postal orders, do you take PayPal etc etc. It is a human reaction to respond to a prospective buyer with this sort of question but DO NOT DO SO VIA THE EMAIL QUESTION, WHY?.

YOU WILL ATTEMPT TO RESPOND AND YOU WILL GET TAKEN TO A VERY AUTHENTIC LOOKING PAGE WHERE YOU NEED TO LOG IN AGAIN TO eBAY AS IF YOU HAVE TIMED OUT, THIS IS SIMPLY A WAY OF GETTING YOU TO PROVIDE YOUR LOG IN AND PASSWORD DETAILS AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, BANG, YOUR eBAY ID HAS BEEN HIJACKED.

BEWARE, BE VERY AWARE.
