You still have to be careful, don't assume that all the bad guys will
try and get you through email.  I have seen some clever auctions that
had embedded javascript that, when you clicked on the auction from your
search list, had it immediately open up a fake log-in page that looked
very real.  You can enter anything (but DON'T enter your real login and
password!) and it will then take you to the "auction", meanwhile they
have harvested what they think will be a eBay name and password.  Watch
out for those, they are sneaky!
