Today I made a won an item on eBay. I made payment through PayPal. Shortly after making payment I received a text message from number 62 226 saying that the payment to this person was marked as suspicious and could I confirm payment reply pressing 1 for yes or 2 for no ? Is this legit and why would it be marked suspicious ?

Hi @Drs64,
That is a great question! 🙂
Yes, this is a valid text from us. When a customer makes a payment, if anything changes on their account as in where the customer is signing into the account, making a purchase that is larger than normal, new payment methods on the account, or information has been recently changed, we will send you a text asking if the transaction is yours. If it is your payment, you can simply reply with 1 and everything is okay.
Thanks,
Drew
