Just a note for you ebayers that a new form of scam is going around in which you get a notice that your bid has been cancelled on a particular item. It might have a "TKO" in the header. It has a hot link where you can log in to find which item it was or why the bids were cancelled. The link takes you to what appears to be a normal ebay login screen where you enter you id and password.....guess what...it isn't. Ebay's policy is now such that all messages from them will be in your Messages box, never being sent separately from your personal login screen. I did a search on the item I was notified about the safe way and found it to be - you guessed it - some stamps from........Africa.. :-).  FWIW
