As everyone has already said... This is bogus. Not only are these crooks
lifting the graphics but they are creating fake sites that are tough to
distinguish from the real thing. Never follow a link that they embed in the
email as it's a redirect to their site for harvesting the data. Another dead
give-away is spelling and grammar. In the salutation of this spoof, eBay is
spelt ebay and the punctuation, grammar and general flow are very poor.
eBay, Paypal and others all have a way of identifying these spoofs and
reporting them. eBay's is at http://pages.ebay.com/education/spooftutorial/
and Paypal at

Dear TR buddies,
Is this legit? It had the multi-colored 'ebay' logo on it originally.
