Dear Sellers,
There have been reports of scam emails being sent to eBay sellers by individuals posing as members of eBay Customer Support team. These emails aim to deceive sellers by redirecting them to a fraudulent site where they are prompted to register their credit card information. Please be aware that these emails are malicious and have no connection to eBay.
How to protect yourself:
- Verify Email Addresses: Always check the sender’s email address. Official eBay emails will come from a domain ending in “@ebay.com”
- Look for Signs of Phishing: Be wary of emails that contain urgent requests, unfamiliar link, or attachments. Legitimate eBay communications will not ask you to provide your sensitive information such as credit card details through email.
- Check URLs carefully: Before clicking on any links, hover over them to see the actual URL. Ensure it directs you to an official eBay website.
- Report Suspicious Emails: If you receive a suspicious email, do not click on any links or provide any information. Forward the email to spoof@ebay.com for investigation.
- Stay informed: Regularly update your knowledge on how to recognize and avoid phishing scams by visiting https://pages.ebay.com/securitycenter/index.html.
Your security is our top priority. We are actively working to address this issue and prevent further fraudulent activities. Thank you for your vigilance and cooperation in keeping our community safe.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact eBay Customer Support through https://www.ebay.com/help/home
Stay safe!
Regards,
eBay Customer Service team
