Warning to ebay UK users
menace:
We just bought something from ebay.uk (not our normal shopping grounds) and within minutes we were hit with three "authentication required" phishing emails. I almost hit reply to verify thinking maybe its cause i was shopping in the UK then realized it wasn't a secure login so forwarded it to spoof@ebay.com. I've shopped on ebay.ca and ebay.com and haven't been phished so just a warning to ebay.uk users--you might be getting one of these emails!
paigeoliver:
I get all sorts of ebay phish methods on a daily basis. The fact is ebay will never email you about anything like that, EVER. Any info they ever need from you will go through their webpages.
rchadd:
i use ebay.co.uk all the time and never get that - then again i am in the UK

Phish, unrelated to the hippie band, is a term used to described unscrupulous scammers who send e-mail disguished as coming from an authentic source (i.e. ebay, Pay Pal, various banks, etc.) in an attempt to get personal information (account numbers, passwords, etc.).
