I had this one too, and I do not have an eBay account!
I just trashed it. I had a similar email from an investment
company, E*TRADE Australia, to someone with my surname but different
Christian names notifying them of changing their email address - to
mine! I did send a reply to that one telling them to amend their
records, they do seem to be legitimate .

Hi all,
This morning I received this email, purportedly from ebay:
Dear eBay Member,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay
account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe
that your account was used by a third party without your
authorization. If you recently accessed your account while
traveling, the unusual login attempts may have been initiated by you
The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 172.25.210.66
ISP Host: cache-66.proxy.aol.com
By now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the
information our users provide us when they register on the Site.
However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult,
eBay cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity.
Thus, we have established an offline verification system o help
you evaluate with who you are dealing with. below:
https://arribada.ebay.com/saw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?PlaceCCInfo
If your account information is not updated within 48 hours then
your ability to sell or bid on eBay will become restricted.
Thank you
The eBay Billing Deptartment .
I was just wondering if this seems slightly suspect (I know fake
bank emails have a similar kind of content) or if it's kosher.
"eBay billing deptartment?"
"verification system o help you evaluate with who you are dealing
with"
Any thoughts are appreciated
cheers
stew
