  3. It’s a lesson not to be drastic in clicking anything when we get e-mails that may provoke you to sign-in/login-in your account details. These e-mails have one thing in common, abrupt call to action.

    And if we look carefully on these email servers, it’s no really address @paypal.com but @paypal.inc.com, paypal.cc.co. These are subtle imitation of the real paypal URL. We must be very vigilant, there are tons of them in the internet nowadays.

  4. There is a forum I found on the internet that is free, and helps with Ebay, PayPal, business and the law. Just post any question, the experts will answer it if it has not already been answered!

    The forum has a lot of expert advice on it.
    modeeworld.com/forums
    I found advice there about how to avoid EBAY suspensions, get past PayPal limitations, also lots of detailed help on creating your own business, getting past trademark violations, VERO and lots more. Plus general advice on how best to sell on EBAY, what sells the best, how to get the best price for your product, really everything related to EBAY and internet business.

    Also advice about how EBAY really works and how PayPal really works. The inside scoop.

    Beautiful forum. I was made a moderator of the forum and I love it!
