Last month I got an email from ebay telling me my credit card # was close to expiration, which it was. So I WENT to Ebay and clicked on the place to enter credit card info.

Do you still have that email? It's quite possible you've been scammed.

BTW, even if the site you're logged in seems to 'know' about you, it's possible that the site is using information you're supplying to log into the real ebay, and then sending you back the screens it comes back with.

I think it was okay. I went back and checked the email. I notified me that my credit card ending in ----(last four numbers ) was about to expire. It gave me a link to Paypal, which had my user name, but I had to click to verify, and then they added my saved password******. It was a month ago, and I haven't seen or heard of any activity on that card. However, I will call the card co. tomorrow to double check--have ins. just in case.

I also rechecked the other "security check" and the info they asked for was unbelievable--Ebay and Paypal password, SS #, Bank Acct. #, etc. I'm pretty sure that one was a scam. It just hit a wrong chord with me even though it had the colored Ebay heading on it.

Thanks for the reply.
