I sold some stuff on ebay a few weeks back. I set up my account to just automatically take the fees from my account.
However I keep getting emails from ebay. One that says I owe money and if its not paid my account will be suspended and another saying that the money will be taken automatically.
These contradict eachother, but is it normal ebay procedure? IE keep nagging for money even when the DD is set up and will take cash in less than a week?
Cheers

If it's genuinely from ebay, it will contain your ebay user name - a spammer will not be able to obtain both your email address and ebay user name.
Better still is to set up a special email account for ebay and use it nowhere else. It should never receive spam if you never publicise it anywhere, and all emails apparently from ebay to any other address can be deleted. (This is what I do.)

open the email, find the originating ip address and then check it out with a site like www.dnsstuff.com, this should give ebay as the owner, if not ebay then blacklist and ignore
aka phishing, they hope that youwill reply to their link which looks like ebay and shows www.ebay.co.uk in the address bar, but is usually a dodgy script pointing u anywhere but ebay
recall ebay stating that they dont email people asking them to "verify" their details
