so i keep getting email from different people asking where their package is as they have nor received it and they are going too report me. these are obviously total bs and look a little fishy. i suppose they would possibly sneek by if you did alot of volume on ebay.

Yeah, that's a scam. It's very common, and the "question" varies, but it's definitely a scam.

I pretty much delete everything that Isn't a reciept for a purchase from paypal nowadays. I pay etremely close attention to who the money is supposedly going to, and if it is a generic paypal email about any random thing I just delete it. Thanks for the info on this one though.
