* Second Chance Offer emails with the subject of “message from eBay Member” are fake. Real Second Chance Offers come directly from eBay and also appear in My Messages with a subject stating “You have a second chance offer…”.
* Never pay for your eBay item using instant case wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram. These payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you don’t know. Learn more about sending payments.
* Is this email inappropriate? Does it violate eBay policy?
