I just missed a call from this number. I used the cell number they called to activate my account a few minutes ago, so I don't know who else from Salt Lake City would have called me within an hour of activating my eBay account. So, to everyone who thinks it's a scammer, and not to say that I can't call anyone I want using ebay's number as my outgoing caller id, I highly doubt it was anyone but eBay unless they JUST gave my cell number to someone else. Caller ID "spoofing" only costs me $3.99/year--I only use it for business purposes, not posing as someone else, but it wouldn't be hard for someone to pretend to be eBay.

Just because ebay does have this number does not mean that it is always genuine. A scam could involve spoofing the caller ID display. Not hard to spoof it and then go on a phishing safari. Since ebay suspension is typically done via email, any call from this number relating to suspension is very likely NOT genuine.
