Scams

Hello fellow eBay sellers,

          It seems that every time I try to sell something on this platform, I come across someone trying to trick me into shipping an item before I am paid. I just had someone send me a fake email from payments.safetycentre@gmail.com with a generic message telling me a payment was made and to supply proof of shipping. I find it hard to believe that eBay wouldn't have its own email server with @ebay.com email addresses. I'm in cybersecurity currently, and am always following the straight and narrow path. This incident has me thinking otherwise though and that someone should give the scammer a taste of his/her own medicine. Comment your thoughts below. Maybe you have experienced similar situations. I would like to hear about it.
