EBay spoof / scam email ?

the message i am asking about is an "alert message", theres no link in the email, but, it says this above the message - "eBay sent this message to ( ).", and in the email itself it says at the top - "dear , " and does not display my name or anything. The email is titled "Your payment account has been removed as an automatic payment method", and the content is basically instructions on how to set up automatic payments using site map. what do you think, is this a scam email ?

EBay spoof / scam email ?
Scam scam scam scam, Ebay always addresses you with your full name, delete it and ignore it (there is no such thing as a automatic payment, where would they take the money from),
Reply:Oprah did a show on scams today. Ebay rep came on and stated Ebay and Paypal will NEVER I repeat NEVER EVER contact you. Ever. The only way Ebay will say anything to you is when you log into your account on Ebay, then they will send you msgs on there.


Ebay said they know emails are not safe so they never will send you an email. The rep said the emails look real but they are fake. They are using the logos of Ebay illegally it is a fake email. A scammer is trying to trick you.


Delete any emails you get from "ebay" or "paypal" because they are not real.
Reply:If its an email from Ebay then you will ebay will sent the same email to your account. Log in and check it. If not then report the email to ebay as a scam one.
Reply:First, if it is not directly sent to you with your actual name on it then it is a scam. It is 100% a scam e-mail. Just ignore it %26amp; delete it.
Reply:Yeah sounds like a scam. E-bay would never send an e-mail that says "dear," that's very unprofessional. In any case if this is true it will tell you somewhere when you log into your e-bay account.
Reply:may be but go to ebay itself and sign in, they would send a message to your inbox as well.
