Almost invariably these phoney-baloney notices contain a number of
grammatical errors. Some are more egregious than others, but they're almost
always present. The first sentence, for instance, is so poorly constructed
and ham-handed that I think you can safely assume there is a zero percent
chance it actually came from Ebay. Ditto the first sentence after "Please
Note." These guys might catch a few more fish if they hired an editor.
