Re:Possible ebay scam??
hummm...sucks you have to consider this.
I would email ebay and see what they say.
if its true, they will tell you, and if its false, they will know about the scam, and hopefully take care of it.
works in both ways.

BIG SCAM!! BIG SCAM!! BIG SCAM!!
Ebay will not send you anything like this. We get these all the time. There is some web site you can report them to for internet fraud but I cant remember what it is. My wife(HMT MOM) knows what it is. I will get her to post.
