This was NOT a scam email. Like you I never click on links in an email.

So I checked the mail IN my eBay account. It had the same thing so the email was real.

My point is that the email IMHO was trying to get me to pay with Direct Deposit instead of VISA. Yes, I know it's easy to do it in PayPal and I used to do that. For reasons I won't go into here, I use VISA to pay eBay.

BUT ... eBay said that my payment was rejected and they would try again in a few days. That was followed by a warning that I could lose me account, and so on. All of which I knew.

Concerned I checked my VISA and there was nothing wrong with it. I tried paying eBay again with VISA and surprise it went through in seconds.

NOW here is my original question ...

======================

Did anyone using VISA to pay eBay get the same "your payment was rejected" email? Is this eBay's attempt to push VISA payers into Direct Deposit payments?
