The previous eBay messaging system worked fine,this one not so much.I was notified three times in the last 6 hrs that I had three msgs from interested buyers on an item I am selling. The msgs were all the same, requesting that I text a reply and asking obvious questions that were in the listing and tendering a low price offer. By texting they have sucessfully bypassed eBay msg system and is now free from scrutiny to defraud, scam and phish!
