I had to laugh at the spelling errors, look at "udpate" and "responce":

That has gone straight to snipped-for-privacy@ebay.com for them to sort out. Similar emails have been received in the last week for PayPal users (which go to snipped-for-privacy@paypal.com if anyone needs the abuse address)



Kind regards,

I've had a few and judging by Ebay's bulletin boards there are plenty about. If I might make a general but picky point: When posting such things or commenting on NG spam (which is usually filtered out for me) it might be prudent to remove the offending URL to eliminate the possibility of unfortunate accidents. ttfn Roland
