found it suspicious when i clicked the link it lead me here , and you could sign in with any combination of username/password + no security certificate or https:// at the beginning which ebay always has when signing in.
changed my password afterwards just to be safe.
anyone that recieves this e-mail should report it to ebay (as i've already done) and not fall for it.

good tip here folks if ebay contact you they use your user name always. fake emails that try to get your details dont they put. dear user or dear account holder that sort of thing. but if you do fall victim to a bogus email just change your password immediatly.

if in doubt delete the bloody thing
