Help - advice needed about strange email from ebay member!
I'm sorry, this is a long one! I received the email below from a previous ebay member today and I'm very confused and I don't know what to do.

It tells me that they have noticed some unusual activity in my account and that I needed to go through their link and input my username and password to clear a block that will be put on my account tomorrow.

Is it worth bidding on these sorts of listings??
I was looking at the dvd listings and noticed that for £1.99 you can buy a link to where you can buy dvds from £2.50. Is it worth buying these links or are they just a con and do you have to order a certain amount of dvds a week?

Advice on a sold item
Put a phone on eBay and it went yesterday for £360! Was suprised as they normally tend to go for about £250 but figured it might be to do with the time it ended and the large number of watchers and varied bidders, and people just getting caught up in the moment. However the guy who won had a zero rating and I did put in…

Does ebay monitor sellers who had listings removed?
I'm wondering if ebay puts sellers who had their listings removed on some kind of "watch list" to monitor their future sales or do they just go back to ignoring you until someone complains again? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS.

Should I pay them
A little while before Christmas i sold some items on ebay and accumulated sellers fees of around £40. At roughly the same time, my better half was buying me a christmas present off ebay - a £450 bsm gift voucher. The voucher turned out to be paid for with a stolen credit card. Police weren't interested, Paypal weren't…

Should I unlock mobile before selling?
I'm about to try my first sale on ebay. Item is a Motorola V545 locked to Orange, brand new (unwanted as I just wanted the new contract/cashback deal, quite happy with current handset). If I pay a tenner to get it unlocked before selling, am I likely to get at least £10 more for it, or should I leave it locked?

Should they inform me?
I am fairly new to Ebay - sold 10 items so far. Everyone has paid using PayPal so far, which is my preference, but today I sold two more items, but haven't been sent payment. If they are going to pay by cheque or PO (which I will accept) should they inform me or do I just wait? By the way what is the time limit for waiting…

Today mailed him to say that if I had no confirmation of posting I would have to start getting money back through paypal. Am I doing the right thing? Would rather get…

Sniping - has anyone lost out?
Lots of people here at work boast about using auction snipers - either software or web-based - to "win" ebay auctions. Just last week I won an auction by placing a winning bid in the last couple of minutes. There's no doubt that you can win using snipers, although my win was manual. The idea, for those unfamiliar with the…

When is the best time&day to end an auction?
I am in the middle of my first ebay auction as a seller and it's going fine. But I was wondering what the best day and time is to end an auction. Is it in the evening ? and are there any days of the week that are better than others. Is it better to have a 3, 5 or 7 day listing? as the item I'm selling has only had bidders…
