If you receive an email containing this

eBay System Update: Identity Confirmationþ?
The spelling of Confirmation is NOT a typo on my part

Dear eBay Customer,

eBay recently announced a new safety initiative called Trusted Selling with Identity Confirmation that will help to protect members from unauthorized listings in that seller's name. All these measures are made concerning your security. Please take a minute to update your contact information:
 
Make the Identity Confirmation now (this is a link in the email but i have disabled it here)

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK
 
To protect the Community against this type of fraud, beginning today, eBay will start noting which computers members typically use to conduct their buying and selling activity. Now more than ever, having a current Secret Password on file with eBay is vital to the safety of the Community and to your business. A wrong or outdated Secret Password may delay your ability to list items or respond to your customers, if eBay cannot verify your identity.
Sincerely,
John Canfield
Senior Director, eBay Trust & Safety

This is a phishing email and NOT from eBay, it is an attempt to get your details
