Said she was Lisa from ebay and wanted to say how to maximize my sales. I did some searching and people say it's FRAUD. beware! They claim to be from Ebay but they are not!

Got the same call and they also said they would follow up with an email.  Stay away

Just got this call. Didnt answer it. Did a search and found this. Thanks for the heads up.....

wow! just got the same call and missed it, i googled it and found this!!!  Thanks for the heads up! i called it back, and said thanks for calling ebay inc

I just received a call from this number today and it is not a fraud!  I am an ebay power seller and I occasionally get calls from ebay informing me about current promotions and specials.  The caller, Lisa, left a message and was simply informing me of the current ebay promotions, and what she mentioned matched the info I received in an official e-mail from ebay this morning.

R E L A X!  :)

Some of you are so paranoid!  It is legitimately Ebay trying to get you involved in some other programs.  If you don't want these calls anymore, simply go to My eBay > Preferences > Newsletters, Promotions and Event Notifications > Telephone updates, and turn them off.

I have been getting these calls on my cell phone for the last few days. I don't believe that they are from E-bay, if you go to the web site listed for this number they want to know if you want your picture taken with a naked cowboy !!  I think this is very much a scam, be very careful, I had my pay pal hacked into and all of my funds taken. I got them back , but it took a long time.  So don't "Relax" and be very "paranoid" ! these people are smart and have nothing to do all day but figure out how to get over on you and me.

I am an ebay powerseller and I do get phone calls sometimes.  but i never pick up.  I am not sure if this is legit or not...but I dont give them any info.  I just listen and hang up.  Never give your info or anything.

FRAUD ALERT! BEWARE!

This is a FICTITIOUS telephone number used for supposed eBay marketing calls which DO NOT originate from eBay!

The voicemail left on my cell phone went like this:

"Hi, my name is ... and I'm calling in reference to [your eBay User id here]. I just wanted to let you know that eBay is making changes to it's trading assistant program. You must create new profile by February 11, 2008 in order to remain in the directory. Please go to: ebaytradingassistant.com. Thank you for using eBay."

All legitimate eBay web pages will have ebay.com/ in the web address. The address provided above does not originate from eBay. If you do a simple Google search for "eBay trading assistant", this URL does not appear as one of the top sites!

You can also double check by logging into your eBay account, searching for "trading assistant" and making a note of the URL from there.

I get these calls alot ... I am a power seller and I have my phone updates on .... this number is not a scam just a ebay update ..... but yes some are scams you just have to be carefull and DONT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFO like it sats on all ebay email "we will never ask for a password"
If you get a call and they start asking alot of info just ask for their manager or something but never give out anything

Got two calls and told them twice they had the wrong person.  They also said they were from ebay.  Watch this scam!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received a call this morning from this number.  It shows up as somewhere in Texas.  A male asked for my husband and stated that he wanted to help him maximize his business sales.  I told him that I would be glad to have my husband call him back.  He advised me that with him being in a call office it would be too hard, but that he would send my husband an email.

I am not an ebay client and I got this phone call as well, they did not leave a message though...If all of the top google search results say this is a scam it probably is.  Just dont be stupid, call ebay back at a different number and see why they were calling.

This number is legitimate, its the outgoing number that eBay uses for its Salt Lake City branch...could be anything from an outreach call to Trust and Safety issues.

It just happened to me. A message on my anwering machine. From a foreign person. Only understood word feedback.

I'm a power seller and I never get calls from ebay! ZI'm glas I wasn't home!

This number is an ebay number. I got a call from my rep on the inside to take care of billing with me. I know it is her since i have been doing business with them for some time now

This is a legitimate call from eBay. They called me to tell me about updates to the Giving Works program and to remind me of some upcoming workshops. They did not ask for any information.

Called the number back, recorded message.  Asks for no info.  It is legit.  You can opt out of the calls by logging into your account see directions in Ralph's Dec. 4th post

I am a powerseller on ebay but since I have had "NO PHONE CALLS" stated in my ebay preferences for years I don't know why they would call me. Just listened to the message and it is obviously from a call center in INDIA. Wanted to tell me about changes to the giving works program and a workshop that is coming up. I'm sure it's legit. Don't know why they call when I have asked not to be called.
