Sharon had this one too, a few days ago. Thankfully I was there so she checked with me before she did anything. Annoying isn't it ?

I have been getting this message every week for the last month. I was really worried since I had bought some items for my dolls houses I'm building. I've replied twice and told them that I'm not .com on Ebay and to contact Ebay UK. Was I wrong to do that. I've got two more messages from them which I haven't opened. Should I just delete and ignore.
