Hi James.

Too simple to be advice.

I've seen emails with links which will bring you to some webpage
acting as ebay and in reality being a cloak transparent gate
between you and real ebay. Once you entered the data it sends
it to real one and reads back ( and shows it to you as well :)
either ebay accepted it or rejected it. Scripts can do magic
these days.

Advice - do not follow any links in emails especially if java
or javascript is enabled. Directly login in ( opening account
by youself in browser ) and verifying if there is any messages
waiting is safer. Also if spyware and adaware running 24/7 it
will make life alot easier :) ( hijackthis, spybot, pestpatrol
and adaware finally are my favorites )
