I just received an email from someone from the UK letting me know that they had just sent payment and was eagerly waiting for the laptop they purchased from me to arrive. I've never sold a laptop on ebay. I looked up the item number on ebay (separate browser) and it does show a recent transaction for a laptop being sold by someone in the UK. However, the winner bidder is not the same guy who emailed me.
I was about to send an email telling him that he somehow emailed me by mistake. When I clicked on the ebay response link in the email, it opened up an ebay sign-in page. It happens that I had logged onto my ebay account about 20 minutes earlier. But, when I clicked the link, it told me that my session had expired. I don't recall ever having seen that before on ebay. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'm thinking that, had I logged on via that link, someone would've been able to steal my password. Anyway, thought I'd give a heads up.
BTW, has anyone else had that happen to them?
