Warning to ebay UK users
daywane:
Thanks.

I've had a few and I almost fell for it the first time and I thought I was fairly clued up. The emails look official and what they do is overwrite the address bar on IE to make it look as though it is the actual ebay site.
If your using Firefox then I suggest you get a little plugin called spoofstick which basically tells you the name of the site your on by displaying it on a bar at the top of your browser. Therefore if you get re-directed you should be able to tell as the address and display will not match.

Best solution is never to click on a link in an email from ebay or your bank. Always go to the real url.
