considering the link doesn't even work and ebay will never send you somthing like that its fake

I received a similar one a few months ago and reported it to eBay. They responded saying that it did not originate from them. One of my neighbors has three large online eBay stores, she fell for it. She said that it created some accounting problems for quite some time.

eBay would not request that info from you. If someone enters the requested info they are giving the perps free passage to their accounts including paypal.

Yeah it's fake, kill it (or report it to Ebay).

There are lots of fakes like that. It's to get your user account info. NEVER reply to ANY email asking for personal info. Contact E-bay if you think there's a problem, but what you just got is bogus.

 

[StrechM]

Do both, kill it and forward it to eBay. eBay will respond to your question within a few minutes.

Log-in normally, verify your info.

Never follow a link from an e-mail that asks you to enter information once you get there. If you believe its something real go directly to the website url you would normally go to to access the account don't use the link in the e-mail.
