    How do you know there fakes if you haven't actually purchased them?

    If you so concerned why haven't you reported them to trading standards yourself?

    Because I know the trade, and I know which companies do and don't make memory foam mattresses. It really annoys me to see sellers ripping off so many people because their customers don't know the difference between very expensive memory foam, and cheap reflex foam.

    I have informed Trading Standards, but they don't exactly move quick.

    It looks like it is a legit email - I got one as well.
    You are an active eBay member, with a history of positive interaction with your trading partners and Trust & Safety. We'd like to thank you for your help by maintaining -- and improving -- the marketplace.
    We have developed a new program that will enable some of our most valued members to report more easily. The system will allow you to log in and have some further options available for reporting than the usual option. When you submit a report using this tool, your report will be given very high priority for review and will reduce previous delays you may have experienced.
    If you would like to find out more about the program please let us know by responding to this message to the following email address: xxx@xxx

    Joanna Leszczynska

    eBay Enhanced Member Reporting
    Program Managers

    By tracing the message details backwards, it has come from a genuine eBay IP address.

    If anybody has access to visitor stats on a website, look for an IP range from 216.113.160.0 to 216.113.191.255. These are the numbers that are assigned to the eBay servers.

    Q&A seem very convinced it's a spoof, don't know where all this 'ebay have confirmed it' is coming from.
