THE NAMES "eBay" AND "PAYPAL" MAY BE USED BUT BEWARE ..... SOME EMAILS THAT LOOK LEGITIMATE ARE INFACT SPOOF EMAILS !!!!!
  • Many emails you receive in your email account from PayPal or eBay are really fakes.
  • If eBay sends you an email to your email address –and they sometimes do, don’t open it.
  • Whenever eBay sends you an email they also send it to you’re My Messages box in you’re My eBay Page.
  • Just go to you’re My eBay Page where you will also see the email if it really came from eBay.
  • You can open it there safely.
  • If you receive an email from PayPal, don’t click on any of the links. 
  • Instead just log into your PayPal account and you will see any notices on your main account page.
  • All genuine emails from eBay and/or PayPal will be always be addressed to you by name.                    
  • If the email says Dear Member --it is a fake!
