This is the email I got from EBAY (I took my full name and EBAY username out). I asked a security question on EBAY'S website and this is the response that I got. I went directly to EBAY to ask the question. I did not click on a link in this scammer's email. I went straight to EBAY. When you get this response, it looks real. EBAY FINALLY decided to respond to the question I asked 8 days later.
EBAY hung up on me when I tried calling them.

What happens if the seller does not respond after the payment is completed?

If the case was initially filed in and the respondent does not reply within one week, it is unlikely that you will receive a response and we will close the case. We will reopen the case and notify you as soon as we will be contacted by the other part.
