Hello,

Thank you for writing to eBay regarding the email you received that
appeared to be from eBay.

I must alert you to the fact that this email did not originate from
eBay. By altering the reply-to address for this email, it may appear to
have come from an eBay email address, when it actually did not. This
process is commonly referred to as "Spoofing".

Please rest assured that your account standing has not changed and that
your auctions have not been affected. We are currently investigating
the source of the email. Although we are unable to provide specific
information regarding the result of our investigation, let me assure you
that eBay does take these matters seriously. We are currently working
to have the web site members are directed to removed from the internet
and predict it will be removed shortly.

Please remember that eBay will NEVER ask you for private information,
including credit card information or passwords, in an email. You will
always be directed back to the eBay site to enter information. More
