Ebay says that they will never send you a link like that in an email. If they need you to verify/change information, they will tell you to log in and change your info after you've logged in.
 
The people sending that email are scam artists, trying to rip people off.

Um, the message didn't appear. I just realized the entire text is a link, making it even more suspicious. Here, I'll copy what it says word for word:
