New EBay Scam to Sellers--READ!!!

Wow! And I thought I could spot these. Usually I would get a random
question or demand about an item I never sold...like a dispute for a car
part or something. The page looks like an EBay Answer a Question page, but
the item in question is something you never had. BUT, yesterday, I got a
question about the Big Hit Pinball machine am currently running. They
asked if I could deliver it to New Jersey--and when I clicked to respond, it
took me right to the sign in pagem, which I did. After I answered the
question, and clicked to send, it took me to a "Try Again Later" Ebay page.
I tried again, and same thing. THEN, when I looked at the address in my
brower window, I realized I just gave my password to someone else. I
quickly changed my password of course, but the only reason I suspected a
problem was when I got that real EBay error message. I told my secretary
what happened (her husband sells model planes on EBay) and this morning, her
husband got a "question" that looked legit about an item they were running!!

That's why I never click on the link in emails etc, I always log into eBay
etc via my browser bookmark.
