the real "seller" write me on my normal "ebay" mail box :

I am not sure which card/auction you are referring to, but I definitely did not send out any second chance offers to anyone, for any of my auctions. I would suspect that those most likely are some sort of phishing scams that ultimately want access your paypal account (just a guess). I've been receiving the same sort of phishing e-mails, but as a seller, encouraging me to log in to my "ebay" or "paypal" account so that I could then screw myself over and give away my login and password to the scammer, and then they run away with my money. Be extra careful my friend, as these scammers seem to be targeting eBay these days. Regards, stillthehardest
