A very convincing spoof email is circulating.  It claims that if you are not ID Verified on eBay by January 2007, you will not be able to use certain eBay features.  The email offers free ID Verification.  It is fake.
 
You can always check if an email is real or a spoof/phish email trying to get your personal login or other information by manually logging into your eBay account (DO NOT use the link in the email), and go to "My eBay".  If the message is real it will be in your "My Messages"  or it will be on the eBay General Announcement board here:
 
 
This spoof email was dated 12/28/06, and there was no announcement on the eBay General Announcement Board to match it.
 
When in doubt, hit the "Forward" button, and send the email to spoof@eBay.com.  eBay will let you know if it was a spoof/phish email or not.  When you reply, be sure the "headers" are included.    Headers are all the "To:" and "From" information that are copies on the forwarded email, if you have your email client configured to include the original message in responses.
 
You should always include the original message anyway!  It's often difficult, especially when sending service emails, such as to The Seller Sourcebook Support, to determine the situation and what needs to be done, when the original email conversation is not included. 
 
If we have 100 emails we've answered, and we get your email answer "It didn't work" and the original conversation is not included, your answer is going to be delayed as we sift through the emails of the past day or two trying to find what you are trying to fix, in your previous email.
 
So, take a minute to check your account settings, to be sure you include the original message in your email reply!
 
And never click on links in emails that ask for *any* logins or passwords.  Always log into your account by typing the URL that you usually use, into your browser address bar.  That way you know the link is official!
