If it is in your ebay messages, then it is a genuine request, and you are required to sign up tp managed payments

If you receive any email from Ebay but you didn't receive any copy in Ebay Messages, then it's scam.

Check your eBay messages in you eBay account, you will find the message there.

eBay require additional information and identification to switch you from Paypal to mnanaged payments

Hi karijiniheaven. I wonder if we're seeing this scam doing the rounds again. Quite possibly another variant. One thing you should never do is click on links within emails of this sort. Check to see if the announcement is in eBay and if it isn't then don't proceed.

 

The below article is informative on the matter.

                        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recognising phishing phone calls and emails

 

Be suspicious of any unusual request for your personal or financial information by email or phone. It may be a "spoof" or "phishing" attempt.

 

If you believe your account may be compromised, see our page on getting help with a hacked account

-> ( https://www.ebay.com.au/help/account/protecting-account/get-help-hacked-account?id=4196 )

 

Scammers may impersonate well-known companies via email, phone or text message, in the hope that recipients will provide confidential information (including passwords or bank or credit card details) and/or download malicious software.

Well, a good tip is that folks don't click on links. They don't have to stand on their toes to tip toe around eBay if they know what to avoid.  I'm all for extra precaution. I don't want to see folks get stung by scammers.

Why include so many in your responses then?

You know very well that I'm talking about clicking on links within unsolicited and suspicious email.
