Ebay suspension of account spoof

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

Just so everyone knows, eBay's procedure for an account "breach" is to reset
your password with a new password contained in the email. You can type the
eBay URL into the address bar to be certain you are getting the real site,
then use your UserID with the new password contained in the email, and
change the password to whatever you want. This happened to me once, and I
was a little suspicious, but figured if I typed in the URL I would be safe.
After I did it and thought about it, this really is a good way to handle
compromised accounts.

I just forward the messages to Spook@Paypal.com or Spoof@Ebay.com.
Within a matter of minutes I get a reply from the "real deal" telling
me it was a spoof. They say they are using the info to "further
investigate", but I have my doubts about that. RSDA

My favorite is the new spam that says you've successfully added an
e-mail address to your account. The address is usually something at
yahoo.com. Then it says if this address has been added in error, click
the link and enter your information to cancel the addition. Sneaky.
Looks really legit, too. I can't imagine how many people get taken in
by these messages. I've had to physically stop some of co-workers from
actually doing it. And they're generally not stupid people either.

There is a forum I found on the internet that is free, and helps with Ebay, PayPal, business and the law. Just post any question, the experts will answer it if it has not already been answered!

The forum has a lot of expert advice on it. http://www.modeeworld.com/forums I found advice there about how to avoid EBAY suspensions, get past PayPal limitations, also lots of detailed help on creating your own business, getting past trademark violations, VERO and lots more. Plus general advice on how best to sell on EBAY, what sells the best, how to get the best price for your product, really everything related to EBAY and internet business.

Also advice about how EBAY really works and how PayPal really works. The inside scoop.

Beautiful forum. I was made a moderator of the forum and I love it!
