I've gotten a few of those SCAMs. It was easily identified to me as a SCAM
right away because first of all since I am currently selling items you look
all around the email trying to FIGURE OUT which item they are pertaining to.
You don't find the usual or familiar eBay item number, or a number that does
not match any of your items or no description of the item.

If you still not sure about the legitemacy of the message. Get out of email,
goto your web browser and log onto your ebay account. DO NOT use the link
provided in the email or any emails to log onto ebay. YOu should have it
bookmarked in your browser as one of your favorite sites or personally type
in www.ebay.com to access your account and check your email under "My
Messages" and see if you get that email there. Chances are you won't see it
there which will lead you to believe its phish mail and forward it to
spoof@xxxxxxxx
