I just got this email and it looks like a regular notification email from ebay. I don't have anything for sale right now, and haven't for a while, so I got confused when I saw it. When I copied it on here, it only copied the text, but it looks EXACTLY like an email from ebay! When I clicked on Respond Now, my internet gave me an alert that it is a spam/ phishing email. So now they are trying to get your info in a much sneakier way!! I'm pretty good at catching spams, but this one got me!! Good thing my internet caught it!!
