Hello how can I tell if an Email from Ebay is genuine?

[rosasumpfbrumsel]

I just have received an email from ebay which was downloaded into my mail program on my computer.

I logged into my account on ebay and checked wether this email exists there in “My Messages” as well. The message exists there too.

I am asking, because the message from ebay says, that I recently had contact to a seller. This sellers name is clearly mentioned. It is a seller I have problems with and Ebay is just helping me to look into this case.

This email also says that there are signs that a third person has used THE Ebay account in order to send unauthorized spam emails. Unfortunately it does not say whose Ebay account was used. The sellers or mine.

I would like to answer this email and get more information from then. But before I do so I want to be sure that this email is genuine.

This email has also several help links, but I have not clicked them.

Has it ever happened that fake emails have turned up in someones “My Messages” folder? Is it safe to click the “answer” tab of this email?

Thanks for input and help!

I hope you are joking???   Getting advice from an IT specialist about the authenticity of an email????

It is high time you gave up the struggle and get off the internet if you are so suspicious of everything.

  Hmmm          Is Rosa related to Michelle?

Rosa is paranoid, Michelle is disingenuous.

Lots of stuff to do, looking forward to the break.

Yes, it might seem like this to you, I understand. But I have VALID reasons to be careful right now. I am in contact with an IT specialist for advice. At this point I don't want to get into the details, I hope you understand, Thanks!
