of eBay, we strongly recommend that you ignore the request. Transactions for
items listed on eBay that are completed outside of the eBay marketplace are not
covered by the Buyer Protection services offered by eBay and can be highly
indicative of fraud.
If you have already paid, you may wish to pursue recuperating your funds. Some
steps you might take include:
1. Ask the seller for a refund
2. If you paid by check, ask your bank to stop payment
3. If you paid by credit card, contact your credit card company's security
department

that company for further information at 1-800-325-6000 (Western Union), or at

my question is what if you were away for a long period of time and didn't no it and then come back to find out something like this has happened
), and other little things about the "official" email don't look quite right.
