new egay email scam (I think)
These guys trying to find new ways to get peoples passwords. Now the email comes from member asking how much shipping the item is and if I accept paypal. This is just for those who are actually selling something on ebay. If you are not selling anything you can tell right away its a scam but if you are, it might appear real. The link is fake of course but email itself looks real like the one from ebay members.

never, ever, click though a paypal link ... always type the address into your browser.
