'Answering ebay questions'

Kings from parallel street -

As an ebay seller I often get questions from prospective buyers. It's usually a simple matter to check this is authentic by checking the item number, but I wonder if it would be possible for phishing software to extract that from the auction details and send out a phoney request?

It would be best to use the email system internal to ebay to talk with buyers and/or sellers.

Comment #2 Conyngham from the windy city -

No I'm talking about that, I regularly get emails that look exactly like the ebay internal question from buyer, email. It is almost impossible to tell the difference excepting that the message is usually not appropriate to to the stuff I am selling.

You get those in your regular email box... or the ebay box when you are logged into ebay.com.

Ignore the stuff in your regular email and only check messages on ebay.com
