Look out for this SCAM.....
Dear eBay customer,
During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures, we have detected a slight error in your billing information.
This might be due to either of the following reasons:
1. A recent change in your personal information ( i.e.change of address).
2. Submiting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an internal error within our processors.
Please update and verify your information by clicking the link below:
https://signiin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn
If your account information is not updated within 48 hours then your ability to sell or bid on eBay will become restricted.
Thank you
The eBay Billing Deptartment .

I have had a reply off E-bay over this:
Thank you for contacting eBay's Trust and Safety Department about email
solicitations that are falsely made to appear to have come from eBay or
PayPal. These emails, commonly referred to as "spoof" messages, are
sent
in an attempt to collect sensitive personal information from recipients
who reply to the message or click on a link to a Web page requesting
this information.
The email you reported did not originate from, nor is it endorsed by,
eBay or PayPal. We are very concerned about this problem and are
working
diligently to address the situation. We are currently investigating the
source of this email to take further action. You may rest assured that
your account standing has not changed and that your listings have not
been affected.
We advise you to be very cautious of email messages that ask you to
submit information such as your credit card number or your password.
eBay and PayPal will never ask you for sensitive personal information
such as passwords, bank account or credit card numbers and Personal
Identification Numbers (PINs), in an email itself. If you ever need to
provide information to eBay or PayPal please open a new Web browser,
type www.ebay.co.uk or www.paypal.com/uk, and click on the "site map"
link located at the top the page to access the page you need.
If you entered personal information such as your password or credit
card
numbers into a Website based on a request from a spoofed email, you
need
to take immediate action to protect your identity.
For information on spoof emails and what action you need to take if you
have entered in your personal information, we strongly encourage you to
read our spoof tutorial:
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/education/spooftutorial/
If you have any doubt about whether an email message is from eBay,
please forward it immediately to [email protected] and do not respond to
it or click on any of the links in the email message. Please do not
change the subject line or forward the email as an attachment.
Keep in mind the [email protected] email address is reserved for
handling
reports of attempts to impersonate eBay. In order to investigate these
reports in a timely manner, we can only accept forwarded messages at
this address.
Once again, thank you for alerting us to the spoof email you received.
Your vigilance helps us ensure that eBay remains a safe and vibrant
online marketplace.
We value your business and thank you for using eBay.
Regards,
eBay Trust and Safety
