PayPal - Customer Service " Heads up boys and girls .... Shel ========== I was debating mentioning this, but since you mentioned that scam... I bid recently, in the last week, on a Pentax K 24mm (lost the auction at the last second). The next day I received what looked like a very official second chance offer, html and all, yellow, etc. Looked like an ebay message. Clicking on the link took me to that len's item page, EXCEPT it still said "You've been outbid." I don't know what a link would look like for a real second chance offer, but I figured that wasn't it. So, just to be sure, I emailed, through ebay's inner message system, the seller and asked him if he had sent it. Nope. I think someone mentioned fake second chance offers before here, so thanks for the warning. Just want to say it was extremely well-done and if I hadn't been sharp I could have been taken. Heads up on that too...
