I am a long time user of e-pay and did not get the message. So, I too,
smell a rat !!

As part of their security protocol, eBay tells you to check 'My Messages'
by logging onto your account from the eBay home page.
The 'Contact Congress' message is not in 'My Messages'.
It concerns me that eBays message FAILS the authentication test they
themselves advocate. There may be a legal reason for this in the corporate
lobbying laws. I don't know.
My concern has never been about the politics of the thing, but only about
whether it is genuine or fake.
I am cautious, and within hours of the Boston Marathon Bombing, I was
getting spam/phishing/malware emails about it. It is certainly possible
that some miscreant is exploiting the news about eBay's lobbying attempt
the same way.
YMMV,

Hi John,
I also got one of these emails. It appears to be genuine, especially as
two
different sources directed to by Drudgereport, are talking about a rush to
pass
Internet tax regulation during this week without time for people to review
the
proposal and the White House pushing the same point.
No matter your view point about eBay, their concern is real and should be
of
concern by everyone else. Particularly, as it is being handled to push it
through so fast without the proper vetting.

Hi,
I recieved a very odd communication, apparently from eBay, this morning.
It is a request to contact Congress about sales taxes on internet sales.
It APPEARS to be genuine, but I'm unconvinced.
Has anybody else received this email, and is it for real?
Puzzled,
-John
