Yep, forged. I see at least three things wrong with those headers to be valid ebay headers. With the rest of the header bits I'm pretty sure I'd see at least one more.
Hmm, I wonder if this might be worth using as a spam sign. If you find this header, but no sign of eBay elsewhere in the headers, add a point or two.
Even better would be finding a way to correlate the numbers with the other headers, looking for a valid X-eBay-MailTracker, but that assumes that eBay actually bases them on something that can be verified, and not just some internal counter. I checked my last few real messages from eBay, and the only pattern I can see is that all my saved search notices have the same number, which may mean "This is a saved search notice" or it may mean "this is a notice for saved search #XYZ."
