Got that one too -- and the one about adding laptopseller to my account..yadayadayada..this is getting ridiculous!!
I guess the scammers have discovered the vulnerablitiy of Ask Seller A Question too - ebay boards have new ones posted about questions about shipping items that were not listed or paying for items that were not purchased. I guess you just CAN NOT click on ANY link in ANY email. PERIOD!

oh yes, neglus ... the Laptop Seller .. gotten that many times ... this one today for me was a 'new twist' though ... look how weird it is... it says click here to blah blah, then on bottom of email it gives the REAL thing you SHOULD do inre 'only ever log in with a new browser at https:etc....'

I have gotten over 20 of the "New eBay Sales Report Available for ...!" this week alone. I just delete them. If I want to view my report, I know where to find it. (I am saving them up in one folder just to see how many I get in one week!)

Kevin: "If I want to view my report, I know where to find it."
LOL Kevin ... that's ironic/funny for me though, becuase I get these ones pretty often, and i know they're fake, BUT, TODAY i was looking ON ebay's powersellr website to try to VIEW my ACTUAL Seller Report (to see what my sell-thru rate has been) and I couldn't find it!!!! .... where do i go to find that? can you tell me?

estatesalestuff,
To get to mine I go to the My ebay page and it is in the "My Subscriptions" box on the left side. Its labeled Sales Reports. Hope that helps you.

Actually, I don't think those Sales Report emails are spoofs - just some VERY VERY STUPID people at ebay STILL sending links requiring sign on in emails. I have written several times about the sheer stupidity but they keep on coming. I don't click on them either.

But neglus, I think those 'sales report is ready' emails *are* spoof/hackers ... because ebay only updates those reports once per month, but I get those emails at least a half dozen times per month. That is just too fishy for me.
I dedicate my first cup of morning coffee to you, while I go look that up. lol
