Bidders email addys are NOT visible to the public.

ebay is constantly being "hacked". seems like they can get your email
add's. but can only get sensetive info from you. Like, getting these
bogus letters, and clicking on the links provided in the letter. Some
will ask for your password, some will take you to an open page of
nothing. but has provided an anti security worm, to infiltrate
(variation of a trojan horse) to seek and gather the info.

I've got 2 Ebay accounts (buyer and seller). I've NEVER gotten emails to
my
buyers account.
I only get them to my sellers account if my email addy was in the ad - or
if
the phish came through the official ebay emails. I totally disagree that
Ebay is being hacked. There's a reason that your email is being laid bare
to
the world. - really.

I have not received any email regarding my Ebay account but I have received
fake emails regarding my Paypal account. Before responding I checked with
Paypal and was told the emails were fraud so I flushed them.

Know what the retail price of the product is, purchase from established
members and pay with Pay (using a credit card)....following these guidelines
I have not had a problem.
