just got a call from there. i dont think its a scam. it was a guy from ebay telling me i can earn ebay bucks for selling for a limited amount of time.

Actually, that's not true. It's true if you have little to no volume of sales. Ebay wouldn't waste their time and call a person who sells less than $1000 annually. When I hardly sold anything, I got this call once or twice a year. WHen my sales went to $250/month, I got it once a month. Now that I sell over $30,000 year, I get this call weekly. If you notice, lately it is hard to contact eBay directly especially if you're not a powerseller, thru email. They have reduced their customer reps who answer emails to. If you're not a powerseller, you have to wait in long lines to get to a live person, and most ebayers can't wait 60-120 minutes to have a simple answer to a basic question.The explaination I was given from my powerseller rep (who also confirms this is a legit number and call) is that more than 90% of the issues and questions being sent it, the answers could be found in under 5 minutes of research using the Ebay Help system. Sadly, unless you do a lot of volume in your sales, they make it hard to contact someone to help you.It is an Ebay call center in Utah. I maynot be listed under "eBay" as the owner of the number, but by a company that eBay contracts to make calls on their behalf. If you call HP support on the 800 number, your call isnt sent to anywhere near their HQ. It used to send you to Canada 6 years ago. Now most likely your call will be "Tom from Kansas City", but with a disctinct Indian accent. It's a US number, but the call center is in India, so the actual location of hte call center is moot. Have a MN phone number, but It's only takes 1 phonecall to get the calls forwarded to any number outside MN. the location of the area code on the number is worthless info.Ebay's policy is not to hand out phone numbers to it's customers, unless it's absolutely needed, and then only for certain issues. It's always the best advice to not answer a phone call if you don't know where it's from, but then again, you can always hang up.

My husband works for e-bay at the slc branch and that is the number that comes up on caller id.

Correct...I am a power seller and I get a few calls from Ebay a year. They never ask for any private information. They are just reaching out via a different method in order to get their information/promotions out.

just contacted ebay its fake

It comes up on caller ID as DRAPER UT. I don't care if it is ebay they can contact you by e-mail. I don't know who DRAPER UT is. Wait for someone to answer then tape receiver on the counter. OUCH find a different way Ebay. You call at the most inconvience time anyway.

Ooops thats TAP the phone!!

A telemarketing call from E-Bay. Giving me info on how I may icrease my sales on E-Bay.

LEGIT call. It's an eBay call center telling you how to increase your sales, etc... I HATE THESE!! I stopped selling because eBay treated me like CRAP & now they are harassing me to sell more??? GRRRR!!

It's legit. They call me from time to time. They never ask for any sensitive information (and I wouldn't give it if they did.) Just today a woman named Karen called to let me know how I could increase sales. I was bored, so I listened. She didn't ask for anything.
