Could be a seller using another account to get more money. Use the

address is odd for someone just trying to straight up rip people off.
THey can contact me if they can guess my ebay id. but it is worlds away
Someone
*must* have cracked the
ebay database...
A snipe service database also could have been compromised. It
seems to
me that they get your Ebay name and password for the sniping process -
but if someone gets their hands on that data, they can get into
sellers accounts and see who the underbidders are for higher ticket
items.
from anything i use for email. I think MIke's
point was it was an ebay
looking approach @ his email address. I get my email from
ebay thru a
distantly related oddball server and then respond thru ebay messages.
Unless i reply thru there or send my email address by replying to a
message from my main email I will never get email there that is legit.
The other way to discover ID's by the way which I'm using is to watch
feedback to sellers who don't like. BUt that still only gives an ebay
ID unless you happen to associate your ebay ID with an email address
somewhere.
