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

If you're ever worried about the veracity of such e-mails, open up your browser and type in the url of e-bay or pay pal or your bank and log in normally. Do *not* use the URL sent to you in the email (as it may take you to a phishing site where they'll capture your login/password information).

If the matter's important, your account will warn you that you need to read new terms and conditions, or contact eBay management or whatever.

Have fun,
Shay
