[Milsurplus] Re: [ARC5] Possibly OT: eBay becomes even MORE intrusive

[J Forster]

I'm strongly inclined to think it is genuine for several reasons,
including that none of the links in the original email went to any
(possible phishing) site and no information was sought. It also had not
only my email address, but also my user ID. Phishers don't connect the two
in general. There are other reasons too, which I won't list.

I just forwarded the message to spoof at ebay.com to test my belief.  It has
not been identified as a fraud.
