Someone is trying to use my gmail account for ebay. The thing I want to clarify is that I don't live in Romania because I live in the U.S. and the second thing is those 3 IP addresses aren't mine.

I was uberly pissed off once I saw that and I kept wondering who did that to me. Guess what I will just let the account be suspended. I don't even know how this email got to here.

The same exact thing happened to me.
I didn't bother to block out the IP addresses..but, I'm pretty positive they were the same as yours, from the information you gave. They all started the same way.

Ebay needs to put 2 and 2 together.

You know..I wasn't even aware I had and ebay account, until that email. I think my brother signed up in my name .
They probably messed up typing in their email address

i got that same email on my GMAIL BUTTT i looked at the website and i though maybe that was a SPOOF site and they were probaly trying to hijack my password there so I didn't bother clicking on the link that email gave me.

i tried going on eBay.com and the loginpage isnt loading up on me so i can't see.

Edit: i used firefox this time and my eBay thing worked perfectly fine.. i need those emails were just to get ya Punk'ed... watch out now. Supposevely according to that email, my account was to be frozen... it wasn't
