Are you absolutely certain this is genuinely from eBay? Sounds to me like someone trying to find uopur your suppliers.

Thats what i thought...a bogus email...but why would it be in my ebay message inbox.
I did reply and said..i am not a business just a seller who sell things..this account is not a stealth account...its my grandad account with real information.

Do you think this letter is really from ebay?

An interesting email. I note that the email is an invite to complete the questions. I would be tempted to NOT take any action and let the "invite" expire.

I am in no doubt that replying to this will not get you any benefits, rather may subject you to further scrutiny.

However IF they were to take the step and call me my responses would be as follows:

In my opinion ebay is simply a platform in which we use to sell items and we pay quite high fees for this "platform" I would not feel the need to provide details about my business as its none of there business. If they dont like what I am doing then they can suspend me, but as far as having a 1 - 2 - 1 buddy chit chat with these clowns, in my opinion they can "go forth and multiply"

All responses are just basic replies. I would not be tempted to ever give away personal info.

Dont forget no matter how nice they may sound in an email or on the phone they will subject you to suspensions and limitation at the drop of a hat.

And I doubt they would have any qualms about passing on your information to other organisations despite privacy and data protection acts preventing this.
