My wife picked up this email before I did and panicked - thinking it was real. Thankfully she took the correct precautions and typed in ebay.co.uk to sign in and checked that all was well on the account.
Even still, as soon as she saw me she told me about the 'worrying email'.
Usual list of pointers that it's fake and trying to part you from your cash:
1 - sent to undisclosed recipients
2 - Dear eBay Member instead of Dear [name].
3 - Website in link does not match website address shown, and is totally different to anything Ebay would every use (quicknet.se???).
Here's the email.
