I noticed a trend on ebay, I will place a radio on ebay and will get questions to sell to Italy or France,,,,,,,,hmmmmm what do I care I will ship there if they pay,,,,,,,next thing you know I am getting spammed that my paypal account or ebay account is about to be closed unless I "click here" and update my information.

Do not even reply to these questions, state it on your ebay ad if you do or do not ship international and let it ride. I have since been watching ebay radio ads and see the EXACT same questions being posted on several radio ads.

Just an FYI that I noticed because I have 3 different ebay accounts, well one is my wifes and one is for selling and buying other "crap" hahaha,,, besides radio stuff and then my radio account which is my call sign, I mean we like to see call signs so we know exactly who we are buying from. Any how I digress,,,,,,,,I used all 3 accounts just to experiment a radio sale and all 3 got the same EXACT email and replied with 2 of them and then the account info scams started arriving, the third one had no scam mails

BE CAREFUL DO NOT RESPOND TO THEM
