Yeah, that does suck... I've been out of the ebay scene for a while just because it seems to have outgrown it's "i've got this and don't need it anymore" to the full-time-job-with-benefits for the sellers. I've since moved over to craigslist, which feels like the old ebay and, since it's only the bay area, you can check stuff out before you buy it. Lost your cell phone? Run over to the guy in oakland who doesn't need his old nokia... Want a hot tub? Find one in napa and rent a u-haul...

On the other hand, it'd complain to every email address I could find on ebay about this, as it's clearly fraud...
