I was selling odds and ends on there, but when they asked for banking information and SSN (I am sure it is for taxing purposes), I removed all my items.  Wasn't selling leather goods on there, just cleaning out storage items.

Same.  SSN is not to be given out so readily, nor banking info.  Imagine if they get hacked, what an identity theft nightmare.  Not a chance.

I seem to be getting such emails as well - many are spam, phishing to collect confidential information like bank details and SSNs. The scams are more and more sophisticated these days. I always call the actual company and I have yet to find even one of the emails to be authentic. Yet, they appear absolutely authentic in the emails I receive.  I view the 'raw message'. Checking that carefully, you can determine if the message is in fact from eBay or somewhere else. eBay or amazon or other companies will not send emails via  google or yahoo or other such email service providers.
