Ebay | Question about Item #190192984528 -- response required

Ebay Phishing EmailAnother one targetting Ebay in just a couple of days. It's a very basic email with next to none of the usual ebay graphics to help convince the recipient.

It's sent to 'undisclosed recipients', which shows that it's probably gone to a mass circulation list. Ebay would only ever email the one person at a time. Also, it's introduction is 'Dear member', rather than greeting by name, which Ebay always does.

The link actually goes to a page http://202.79.208.36/icons/ws/or/sign/index.html instead of Ebay. This does cleverly hide the fact that it's not ebay. But the site is blocked in Firefox - another great reason to download that browser if you aren't already using it.

Here's the email content:
