First - I do not want to scare anyone off from using eBay.... but I did want to let everyone know of a "new" scam... or at least it is new to me.

There's an auction for a Siamese Kitten by Mary Holdstat starting at $3 that is FAKE.  When you click on the auction listing to view the auction the seller has put a code into his auction which re-directs you do a FAKE SIGN IN PAGE!  Do NOT sign in here!!  Ebay NEVER works like that!  (besides, I was already signed in!) I have since found another non bear auction which does this also.

I have reported these 2 to eBay already.  I wanted to post so that no one here would accidently give out their eBay password.... cause a Mary Holdstat for $3 would surely get many of ours interest! LOL!

If you read eBay's rules, it can be a very nice place to buy and sell.  Here is a link to eBay's Online Security section of their Help pages.  Doesn't take too long to read and it is good information!
