Just wondering if anyone has had this before from eBay... I always put my own auctions in the watched items, and I got an email saying Watched Item Chip has been relisted...I went and checked and he is still under my user name, and no additional fees have occured...any advice????

Hugs,

Thats strange. Was it re listed? With out a fee? EBay does some strangse things sometimes.

Hi Krista,

Looks like your original auction is running normally.  The message your received was not legitimate.  There is a slight chance that eBay hiccuped and sent the message in error.   Most likely is that it is a spoof, trying to get you to click on a link in the email so they can steal your eBay user ID and password.  There are a lot of eBay spoof versions oout there... I've received fake "question for your item" emails when I had no auctions running, fake "second chance offer" emails when I hadn't bid on anything, and many, many more.  I have no doubt there are fake "your item has been relisted" emails as well.  As long as you didn't click on the link in the email and enter any information, there's nothing to worry about, just delete it.

Cheers,
Kelly

Hi Krista,
I get those emails all the time - it's really strange.  I just make sure I never click on any links in the email, and I delete it right away.  I think I may start sending them on to spoof@ebay.com.

Yeah thats what I thought too!!! I closed the email, went into my ebay account to check things, no re listing fees or anything silly, I also sent an email out to my mailing list letting them know that it wasn't me that relisted just in case they were wondering, I guess I should send it on to spoof.....I was going to email eBay anyways to see what they could tell me, not that I am expecting much from them!!!

Thanks everyone
