BEWARE

It comes as a guise as an ebay message from a buyer stating

"I'm still waiting the package to arrive. What happened? Please mailme ASAP or I will report you to ebay."

And the "Respond Now" button in the usual place...with the link:

http://61.100.189.167/redirect/https:/s...ay.com/saw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dllSignIn.php

I think that redirect is pretty clever. I feel sorry for the thousands of people who no doubt clicked on that link and signed in.

Hopefully I helped one person from clicking.

Me too. I don't get it, if they need me to mail the package they ordered I have to be able to get a credit card to work.

UPDATE: There's a place where you can put your SSN and drivers license number, all my credit cards are now accepted YAY!

I got one this morning that worked on me. It asked if I accepted money orders and since I just put up auctions (usually don't ebay much), I casually clicked on the respond button. Fortunately I'm always aware of the URL when I'm browsing.
