This is a rather common scam that has been going on

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

a secret.
On the "My eBay" pages, there is occasionally a link near the top, to a
warning (with little or no real information) about "email spoofing"
that is specifically about it.
