I got this emai from ebay but never have I got anything like it b4..could this be a spam…?

In order to ensure that the eBay marketplace is a safe and reputable place to buy and sell, we monitor the level of buyer dissatisfaction generated by sellers and may place selling limits on individual accounts.

Based on input from the buyers who have transacted with you, this account has an unacceptably low record of buyer satisfaction, and falls below the standards expected of the eBay community. This is based on negative or neutral feedback and/or complaints of items not received over a 90-day timeframe.

Buyer dissatisfaction may be caused by:
– Buyers not receiving their item.
– Inaccurate or incomplete descriptions of the item in the listing.
– Slow postage or poor packing.
– Inadequate communication with buyer throughout the transaction.

What can you do now?
Complete all transactions, and settle any issues with your buyers. You can access disputes against you in the Dispute Console from My eBay. For more information, go to:

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/tp/inr-snad-process.html

What happens next?
If after 30 days your buyer satisfaction rate does not improve, a selling restriction will be placed on your account. The restriction will allow you to sell, each week, up to 75 percent of your weekly volume, based on your 90-day history of completed sales.

While restricted, you will still be able to complete outstanding transactions, resolve issues with your buyers, and access emails in My Messages. You will also be able to continue to purchase items on eBay.

The following practices will help create positive buyer experiences in the future:
– Describe your item’s condition clearly and accurately.
– Show multiple original pictures of the item.
– Package the item to ensure safe delivery.
– Clearly state shipping times to manage buyer expectations.
– Answer all emails and voicemails from buyers promptly and professionally.

it was titled-

MC008 SNPC NOTICE: Warning
the email address it came from is

notification@ebay.com.au

I looked it up in my inbox & that’s the only mssg from that address I have ever got
I’ve been selling on ebay since 2004 & have fb score of 99.4%

Firstly, check in the e-mail headers (look in the help file for your e-mail program to see how to do this) at who REALLY sent the e-mail. It is very easy to change the sent from and reply to addresses to anything at all, but the e-mail headers should reflect the real sender.

Secondly, check (but DO NOT CLICK) on the link within the e-mail to see where it really points to. Again, it is very easy to make a link look like something it is not.

9 times out of 10 these type of e-mails ARE phishing e-mails. If E-Bay has a problem they will generally use the internal mailing system (on your My E-Bay pages) to contact you. If you do not have the same message in your internal mail on E-Bay’s site report this e-mail immediately.

Often the links inside these e-mails are made to look like the real address, but if you look at the hyperlink (not the text that is written in the e-mail) it actually goes to a different domain. Often they are hoping that you will use a login link on their site and thus capture your login details.

E-Bay regularly warn about these type of e-mails and how dangerous they are. The same is true of banking organisations the world over who have similar problems with phishing e-mails.

I can not stress enough how important the above is. If it is a phishing e-mail you could end up with a hi-jacked account and a lot of stress and hassle.

If in doubt, always contact E-Bay directly (not using the reply or any address listed in the e-mail, but using the contact systems on E-Bay’s website) and query.

Good luck.

    Since its not asking for you to give login information my best guess would be that it is legit. Contact ebay and confirm.

    maybe…
    assuming you have an ebay account and live in australia I would consider it legit
    unless you’ve sold something

    but I would just normally dismiss it as spam and let ebay do what they want

    you could just close your ebay account if you are really skeptical.

    It could very well be a fake. Ebay fakes are some of the most elaborate fakes ever. One way to check this is: Go to Ebay from your bookmarks, then go to the page of one of the items you are selling and check your own satisfaction rating from there.

    NO DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK IT GIVES YOU!!

    It’s a phising website, its been around for some time. There are some phising websites that look exactly like the companies website. But as stated from the above answerer you should always check to see if its from eBay. My aunt fell for it before i don’t wannt anybody else to.

    That’s NOT a phishing site there Brian W. It’s eBay’s Austrailian site.

    Asker.. I would contact eBay and ask THEM why you received this E-mail.

    It’s called phishing. The address it gives you LOOKS like an Ebay address but in reality it’s directing you to a website in Australia. Ebay is based in California.

    This is a very common scam. Just delete the email and forget about it. Ebay will NEVER ask for your password in an Email.
    Also, always check your menu bar when you do anything with Ebay to make sure there is an "ebay.com/" in the beginning.

    Never trust anything that says "Ebay.com." if there is a dot after the "com" then it’s a scam.

    Looks legit, but on the email did it refer to you by your first and last name? If not then ignore the email. If so call ebay to help fix the problem.

    Also you may forward suspicious emails to:
    Spoof@ebay.com

    You will receive a notification of the sent file, then another follow up email later on with a confirmation if it is legit or spoof!

    Cheers!
