This is a rather common scam that has been going on
for about a year or
so. It has spread to PayPal, and is one of the rationalizations that
ebay is using to force all users to change from email address IDs to an
alias. If Ebay is doing anything about these scams, they are keeping it
a secret.
eBay is forcing users to change from an email address to an alias? This is
the first I've heard about it. I know they won't let you get a new account
and use your email address as they want to control peoples ability to reach
you. I've not seen anything that says that I have to change mine to an
alias. Personally I like that people are able to easily find my email
address on eBay.
