i have a spoof e-mail from e bay almost every week. once you are alert to the problem you can just ignore it and delete it. it usually runs along the lines of your seller account will be suspended if you do not verify your details. please be aware that these people obtain you e-mail address through e bay itself, when you answer a question about a item you are selling or ask about a purchase.also please be aware of the western union scam. this involves fake money transfers when selling a item. at the end of the day it just boils down to common sense really. i have bought and sold on e-bay my most expensive purchase was 4000.00.
you just treat it as a purchase and if you arrive and decide that its not for you dont buy it. and DO NOT PAY LARGE AMOUNTS UP FRONT. a small deposit and cash on collection, for expensive items.

and as a foot note. if you want to purchase a large item e.g. sofas, wardrobes etc i use a e-bay member from hull that charges a BETWEEN 55.00 AND 75.00 for pick up and delivery to your door.from anywhere in mainland uk. i have used him to both send goods and pick up for me. if anyone needs his services contact me and ill send his e-bay user id and you can contact him .
