Well im sure theres a lot of people here who know about eBay and stuff but I've just started using it and im am still learning how to use it and paypal aswell.

Are you sure that is an email from eBay and not from a site trying to get your banking info?

[thcbongman]

You shouldn't.

I think they're referring to your purchases, or sales. That what it sounds like.

Yeah, that's what I thought first as well, but they're no link they're trying to make you click on or about activating an account.

[Boo360]

Sure you didn't sign up for a seller account also?

@ FakeBoobsRule - I think if it was somebody trying to get his info then they would have asked for it?

Im pretty sure its from eBay it wasnt and email to my email account it was a message/email thing to my eBay account direct so im quite sure its not a fake or anything.

But ive never heard of having to pay a monthly sum just for being a member?

Heres the second part of the email.

So anyone can explain? Does anyone here have a seller account on eBay?

No cc don't worry, they take whatever you owe them. When you try to sell something it doesn't automatically charge you the money to list it. You'll get charged for it later in the month probally. Listing fees normally range from less than $1.00 to $50.00 for all the fancy stuff (US prices by the way, sorry :jointsmile. It's always good to invest some money into the listing (expecially when it's over $200).
