To send the headers you need to copy them form the messages source, not what you can see. Most e-mail clients have an option to view it somewhere.

This should help: http://support.netdoor.com/email/eheaders.html It says how to get the headers on a few clients.

Osi, when you open the email that the buyer sent, put your cursor(arrow) in the center of the email(white part) and right click. Then a box will open up, there should be an option that states "show headers". Choose that option.

Dan, I tried what you stated and right click does bring something up, but I looked at every option (and thier subtopic), but there's no "show headers" thing.

The ebay answer had a similar kind of response, (as each e-mail program has it's own set of perimeters) and they haven't worked.

So, I will do my best to get on a conference call concerning this with ebay, and maybe get somewhere through that.

Dan, I receive my ebay questions and replies on my yahoo mail.
The same rules apparently don't apply to yahoo.

Osi, The only way to send the headers to them is to forward the original email. All emails contain normally hidden headers. They get ripped out if you just reply or copy and paste from the originals. If you forward an email the headers remain.

In some email client software you can somewhere ask it to display the headers. If you can do this you can copy and paste the headers to eBay.

You wouldn't believe the amount of info there is hidden in an email [Eek!]

It gives details of all servers the email has been through including details of spam filters etc. I can understand why eBay wants to see these as it will give them some very detailed information.

Thanks for the heads up concerning the e-mails. Perhaps I'll try to forward the actual e-mail to this person in ebay.
