In a browser, right clic on the email address or name that says it’s from eBay. It should show you the actual email address it was sent from. Odds are very good that it isn’t from eBay, though there may be something with those characters in the actual address. I’m getting stuff that says my Icloud payment hasn’t processed, and demanding that I clic on the link to update my payment info. Doing right clic on the address gets this address: info@bjxfeclaimmytax.co.uk Doesn’t look like Apple or Icloud to me. Get them for Ebay, Amazon, and quite a few others too. This particular one is not even addressed to me, but someone named Gary Boulter at a UK email address. It’s spam, spam, spam! Right clicing on the button to update my financial info gets me an IP address. I could look it up using a reverse IP lookup, but odds are it’s some third-world toilet.

I am a computer systems engineer... I do this for a living.

it is NOT a phishing scam, it is a legit email from EBAY.

The claose and PERMANENTY BANNED (their words) because of ‘hateful activities’ (also their words)

If I was doing business on this site to make a living I would probably be pissed.

But I have not used that site in at least 5 years, so I am wondering what ‘hateful activity’ they are referring to.

Who in their offices decides what is ‘hateful’. The only comments I usually make online are when I accurately point out the idiocies and hypocrisies of liberals... so I can only assume that they consider that hateful.

And 1) is eBay scanning the interwebs to determine my social score?
or 2) did some butthurt liberal ‘report’ me.

I’ve had that happened before- I have fake accounts to monitor such activity, and where it comes from. Someone gets torched so they research you online and then call your employers or friends or whatever and tell them what an awful meanie you are.
