First collection attempt after 10 years
So I probably haven't used Ebay in at least 10 years. Bought a few things back in the day and tried to sell a game system but no one bought it. Pretty sure I paid the selling fee. SO i cant really think of why this is happeneing.
So yesterday, I got a call from some guy claiming to be with Ebay collections. He started by asking if I lived at an address from 10 years ago. Then he claimed I owed $224. Everything about it sounded like a scam. I monitor my credit pretty close. If I owe a debt i'm going to know about it before it goes to collections. So I just hung up on the guy.
But today I logged onto Ebay and got a notice that my acct was suspended. And in the alerts was messages claiming I owed this money. The oldest invoice is from May 2017 followed by a message the next day telling me to pay my debt to avoid my acct being suspended. I'm assuming they delete alerts older than 6 months. I'm really not that concerned about my account. My ebay score is 19 so I didn't even use it much back then and have no plans of using it again.
How do I find out what the charge is for? Can i just ignore them? I use Paypal regularly and have never received any notice from them. So pretty sure this is just Ebay.
