Default Is this a real email?

Recently i received an email to tell me to sign up for VAT on ebay, but this was not in my ebay inbox, and only displayed in my actual emails.

The email seems legit but i wonder why it isn't showing in my ebay inbox since signing up for VAT is a big deal...

Simple enough to know if its real or not by checking any of the links on that email (just hover over them - no need to click on them).

You would also receive the ebay message in your ebay account inbox.

Those should be in your eBay inbox as well.
I'm pretty sure all messages they sent out are also in the inbox.

It's possible it's a new phishing email?

I thought that too, but it seems 100% legit and i know my figures have surpassed the VAT threshold.

Its just odd that it isn't in my ebay inbox :(

This is probably just a bait to log into your account.
Easy way to see if it’s legit look at the mail and compare it with original one ..
If ebay wants somth from you they will let you know don’t worry

This is the email address; contact@forbusiness.ebay.com

It seems legit to me, but i am not 100% sure

EDIT; https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Busi...l/td-p/6768116

The above thread is similar to my issue but doesn't really answer my question lol
