Protection Against Fake (Spoof) Emails
With My Messages, you now have a definitive, legitimate source for any communication from eBay that affects your account. Whenever eBay sends you an alert or message related to your account, it will be duplicated in My Messages.
Bottom line – if an email affects your eBay account, it’s in My Messages. If you get an email that looks like it’s from eBay about a problem with your account or requests personal information, look in My Messages. If the same eBay email is not in My Messages, it’s a fake. Please forward it to spoof@ebay.com.
i think this is a good thing as i recieved a fraud alert email that in feb. i sold a fake $500.00 pep boys certificate...it looked real.i alerted ebay and in a mattewr of minutes i recieved an email back it was fake. now w/the my messages all i have to do is look there and see if it's there elimenating that few minutes of panic.
