Reply to "strange emails from potential buyers"

Hi. It should show up in your eBay messages, and eBay says it's for real.

You can forward it to spoof@ebay.com to find out. Same can be done with PayPal too.

I started to say I wouldn't answer it because it sounds like they're trying to get your address for spam purposes. (I always hide mine.) Some buyers do send an email to find out how well you communicate, even though it already says whatever they're asking in the listing.

First, send it to the spoof address and find out for sure.
