When I get a email apparently from Ebay member, but without my name, about something I haven't traded on, and not in My Ebay.
I send it to spoof@ebay.co.uk if it is a spoof they tell me, otherwise they say it is genuine, so I have to send it to them as spam by copying and pasting.
I then get an automatic email telling me to forward the email to spoof@ebay.co.uk
Surely ebay should make it as easy as possible to report security risks?
It is hard work having to copy and paste an email and separate the text from the headers, and time consuming.
The last time I sent a spam under the same circumstances they replied it wasn't genuine.

If it hasn't got my name on I forward it to spoof@ebay.co.uk that is easy enough, but they don't look at the headers from the headers I can tell it is not from Ebay website, they seem to state it is genuine if it isn't a phishing email.

eBay has hundreds of millions of users... this means millions of hackers .. they have implemented Computer auto-response systems that try to cope ...
So, in a nutshell, it works they way it does because that was the easy way to automate it (99.99% of the time there is NO human making decisions ..)

I find ebay has a few flaws but over all, my life would be so empty with out it. I do a fair bit of buying and selling on there.
After a while you will be able to tell what is a fake and what is not.
I have never been duped.
If it ain't got your name on it delete it!
