I posted about this just the other day. Is it a new scam? I don't know...
But it has happened to me twice now in the past week - and I had never seen
it before. You get a "question" sent to you - looking like an actual E-Bay
member wants to ask a question sort of deal. When you click on reply, it
will direct you to a screen to ask your sign in information. THIS IS
WRONG... DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.

I have items up for bid now, and I got a question asked of me of one of
those items.... When I hit reply, it took me directly to a "response" area
to type in my answer, it DID NOT ask for my sign in information. THAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE - the Scam will ask for it. An Auto reply to a legitimate item
does not.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL.... when replying to anything. The last time - which I
posted about not too long ago, the ass hole made it look like he was asking
about a guy ripped him off, which supposedly dealt with me. This time, they
asked it I replied to a posted item to ask a question.

I still say those ass holes ought to be shot on sight when found. They ruin
it for everyone else.

Just got this today.....

similar) P. T. Barnum

turned out to be a hoax).
