OT viruses and now hackers on eBay, scarey

This was just blocked by Norton 360 when I was trying to access live chat here on eBay. I had just been asked for my auction number and didn't think when this came up, just thought they were trying to make sure I was who I said I was. Norton blocked and said was an illegal site trying to access my account. Anyone know anything more about this? Dede I did the full scan with Norton and then with Prevx (says all clear) and changed password, thanks. I sent copy to eBay also. Dear eBay member, eBay recently announced a new safety initiative called Trusted Selling with Identity Confirmation that will help to protect members from unauthorized listings in that seller's name. All these measures are made concerning your security. Please take a minute to update your contact information: Make the Identity Confirmation now To protect the Community against this type of fraud, beginning today, eBay will start noting which computers members typically use to conduct their buying and selling activity. Now more than ever, having a current Secret Password on file with eBay is vital to the safety of the Community and to your business. A wrong or outdated Secret Password may delay your ability to list items or respond to your customers, if eBay cannot verify your identity. Sincerely, John Canfield Senior Director, eBay Trust

Chico, Chicos, Chico's.....sick of fakes!

I am new to ebay and am not a seller yet. BUT -- I have read the rules of selling and I absolutely do not understand how so many of these sellers of "Chicos, Chico, Chico's" jewelry cover themselves by saying that all of the tags have been removed to prevent store returns, but in fact are selling pure unadulterated FAKES as Chico's jewelry. It took me a while to learn but I am now requesting a photograph of the attached metal tag before bidding. In the meantime, I have about 6 pieces of "jewelry" that, when I took them to my local Chico's, they practically laughed out loud, wondering how I could possibly think such "JUNK" could be remotely connected to the costume jewelry they sell. Additionally, I contacted Chico's headquarters where a rep stated that they DO NOT USE "Liquidators" (which most of these sellers claim as the source of their Chicos jewelry.) Instead, they send unsold pieces to the Chico's Outlet stores. So, I am left with some choices...BUT FIRST OF ALL, how do they get away with it? ~~Do I have to pay the postage myself to return to these fraudulent sellers? ~~Do I open a claim in the resolution center for each one? ~~Should I report each one? ~~Should I ask each seller to pay for the return shipping themselves because they misrepresented the item? ~~Will my own feedback be affected if I do any of the above? And finally, again, how do they get away with it? It's fraud!

Brass Bracelet with an Anchor

Evening all. Does anybody recognize the mark on this cute older bangle bracelet? It looks like an anchor that didn't get made all the way, or has rubbed away, with the letter "C" on the right of the anchor. I think this is brass with copper. Thanks!

Throwing myself at the feet of the experts - Silver Cross

All right, so, I picked up this piece in a lot, and am now curious about it - and was hoping someone on the board might know more. The back is marked 90 on the little two crosses attached to the main body, and the main body of the cross has (very lightly imprinted), birds and flowers. I saw this auction (not mine) - 140343658301, and the markings on the back are similar (although these are a lot clearer), but the construction is slightly different in where the bezel set stone attaches to the cross. Am I in the right ballpark, though, or completely off? Can anyone tell me anything about it - is it Russian? Is this a newer copy?
