A few notes of caution

Be cautious of email that claims to come from eBay. Any messages from eBay OR PayPal will also be available on the sites themselves.
eBay involves money and making smart financial choices. You are responsible for making sure you understand these transactions before you participate in them. If you have questions, please ask!
DO NOT EVER give your login, password or any banking information in response to an email or to a site that you did not go to on your own.
