I received an answer to my email to an Ebay seller.  I was attempting purchase an iphone 6s Plus and her email answer stated that Ebay would send me an invoice for the purchase.  I provided my ebay user id, email addy, name, phone number and a few minutes later, an email showed up that did appear legit and to be from ebay.  I was feeling confident that this was a valid invoice until I saw the instruction for payment.  Paying for the item directly from my Paypal account was not an option despite the fact there was a large Paypal Logo in the body of the invoice.  The payment instructions were as follows:

 

How to make the payment
   
 
   

   Ripoffreport Report ImageFollow our instructions to complete the transaction safely.    

    • Go with cash to any store and pick up one or more Paypal My Cash Cards from the Prepaid Product Section and take it to the register. The cashier will collect your cash and load it onto the Paypal My Cash Card. There is a $3.95 activation fee required when you purchase Paypal My Cash Card


    • You can add up to $500.00 onto a PayPal My Cash Card so buy as many cards as you need to complete your payment for item purchased. (Ex: If you buy an item that costs $2,000.00, you must buy four cards, each loaded with $500.00).


  • Once you bought the Paypal My Cash Card, fax a photo of the back of your card (scrath to find 10 digit PIN numbers) and your payment receipts, to validate your payment.
  • Fax the payment receipt and photo of Paypal My Cash Card to eBay Financing Center 
  • eBay Financing Center fax number: +1 (206) 208-1394

1.  The button above for "Live Help Online" takes you to a bogus chat room definitely not run by ebay.  

2.  The Fax number provided is to an unlisted number   n Seattle, WA.

3.    There are a number of amusing grammatical errors in the email

4.   The fact that I can not use a credit card to pay or use my paypal balance to pay is a big RED FLAG.
