dont answer them.


set up a spam rule. maybe foward them to abuse@ebay.com or spoof@ebay.com, i cant remember which one they want you to send thee type of requests to.

make sure you send the entire header with it too so they can track where it comes from.

Report Suspicious Email to eBay

To report email requesting account information that you suspect was not sent by eBay send us the email
with the complete message text and full header or forward the entire message to spoof@ebay.com using the forward function of your email program. When forwarding the message, do not change the subject line, send additional text, or forward the message as an attachment. Forwarding the message in this manner will allow us to review the message headers and any other information that may be attached to the email.

The spoof@ebay.com email address is reserved for handling reports of attempts to impersonate eBay. In order to investigate these reports in a timely manner, we can only accept forwarded messages at this address.

If you have already submitted information after receiving an email request and you suspect that your eBay account may have been tampered with, please refer to the following page for information on Securing Your Account and review the steps on the Protecting Your Identity page.

Take a tutorial on how to spot a spoof (fake) email.
