Obvious reasons this is a scam:
1. Headers show it originated from sdn-ar-001nynyorp256.dialsprint.net
2. The destination URL is http://64.177.3.234/, which receives connectivity
from qwest.net, not ebay.com.
3. There's no reason for eBay to send this message to me
4. The site is not using a secure connection (https://) URLs for
to protect sensitive information, which eBay almost certainly would.
5. Replies are directed to to a yahoo.com address
