    Well, I have gotten several e-mails trying to get me to give them my e-bay password.

    Here is how it works.

    You get an e-mail titled:
    "Question for Seller"

    The contents of the e-mail ask you how much shipping is.
    There is a link of course to what looks like an e-bay source (which of course is not).

    I gather the premise is the fu#kers want you to think:
    Oh crap, I am not selling anything, what is going on. Oh, I guess I better log on through this fictious link and surrender my password so I can see what is going on with my account.

    What I did of course was close out the e-mail and simply log on to e-bay though my favorites (not the e-mail) link and of course there is nothing funky going on with my account.

    So be on the look out. Anyway, I think the next time this happens I will simply tell him that shipping is $5000 and where he can send it.
