I think this makes the 3rd one! It looks so legit! I did click the link and it sends you to someplace called www.ebaybilling.org It looks just like ebay but I knew it wasn't too long ago that I did update my info with them (from the website) so everything should be ok. When I found the billing update page on ebay it defintely didn't say .org!!

My question would have been "What site does the link take you to, is it ebay?" but I reread the post and saw that you answered that.

Heads up ebay users.

I got that too. Seems like I get them from paypal and ebay quite frequently. I sure hope no one falls for this!
