Hello Hessians; I did have a very disturbing experience with eBay - beginning of the week I got a message apparently from the eBay organization, accusing me that I have violated the sales condition, etc., and that my account would be suspended. That I would not be allowed to make any transaction, unless I first filled out a lenghty form giving all my financial details, like card numbers, passwords, etc. bank accounts, and when I read that, I stopped and started to think. Why the heck would they want this information, they have it already, been with eBay for several years, have 349 positive feedbacks. So I just mailed them back that I see no reason for their action, no reason for them to close my account, and I want an explanation. Took 3 days to get an answer, and I was told that this e-mail did not come from them, that it was fraudulent and someone was trying to get at my financial data. That eBay would never ask for passwords, card numbers, or other financial data, because they have that data on file and can get it without using passwords. They told me never to answer such requests, they called it a 'spoofed' message. So far so good - During all this time there was no action on my site - on one book I had 3 bids, highest bid $15.50, nothing changed there at all, although 5 other bidders have it on the watchlist, another book, no bids as yet, but five bidders on the watch list. No action on the other two. I just wonder what is going on, who is fooling who. By the way, the one GUIDE I am offering is my last one, no more after this. Perhaps no more else after this experience. There are people out there trying to get into your accounts. Ye gotta watch! John Merz - the-hessian
